Tips for Spring Auto Transport Services
A lot of people who ship a car don’t think about when they need to ship it. For most, it’s simply “I need to ship a car in the next two weeks, so let’s get started.” They don’t care if it’s winter or summer, spring or fall. What does it matter? Well, it can matter quite a bit. Take spring auto transport services, for instance – shipping a car in the springtime will be a different experience than shipping in the wintertime. And if you take a minute to think about it, you can see that there are a few reasons why. So, let’s discuss them a bit. Here’s the basics of what you should know about spring auto transport services.
Some things to know about spring auto transport services
Spring is a transition season, so the weather is all over the place. No one knows this better than a cross-country hauler (except maybe a meteorologist) because they’re out there driving in it every day. And, as you know, the weather is different across the country on any given day. It may be pouring in Seattle, but at the same time it could be a beautiful day in Oklahoma City. This is a big part of spring auto transport services and something every carrier has to keep in mind. Luckily, though, spring mostly is just wet, and while rain sucks it’s easy for carriers to handle. It’s not like winter, with snow and ice mucking up roads.
But it’s also a transition season in that the industry is shifting away from wintry snowbird routes and back to the more standard jumble of routes. In the winter, southbound routes are all the rage because demand shifts drastically with the introduction of snowbirds. But come spring, that trend reverses; northbound routes suddenly get a lot easier to find carriers on, for one. Same with eastbound routes. And, perhaps most importantly, carriers that hibernate in the winter start their operations back up again. So there’s more carriers on the road. This means more routes with more carriers and lower prices for you. Of course, spring still isn’t as popular as summer, but it’s like batting 3rd – spring auto transport services just set up the summer for success.
