The state of Maine is geographically isolated in the far northern reaches of New England, in the northeastern United States. Transporting to Maine can be difficult. Home to just 1.3 million residents, Maine ranks 41st in the U.S. in total population as well as 38th in population density. This lack of people - and lack of major populated areas (Portland, its largest city, is home to just 66,000 people) - makes it more difficult for auto transporters to make enough money on shipments into and out … [Read more...]
Car Shipping to or from Louisiana
The state of Louisiana currently ranks 31st among the 50 states in total area as well as 25th in terms of total population and 24th in population density.

Car Transport to or from Kentucky
Ranked 26th among the 50 states in terms of total population, the state of Kentucky is not the most popular of car transport locations in the country, but its location makes it a bit easier for shippers to run routes into or out of the country.

Kentuckians have a history of being rugged and self-sustaining, and the land is mainly because … [Read more...]
Auto Shipping to or from Kansas
The state of Kansas was a hotbed of pro-slavery and abolitionist sentiments when it was formed in 1854 as the Territory of Kansas. Though born from battle, the state ultimately entered the country as a free state after the Civil War. Today Kansas plays a major role in feeding the United States, as it produces much of the wheat and sorghum that is consumed by American citizens. Because of this, there are relatively few major metropolitan areas in the state of Kansas, with perhaps the city of … [Read more...]
Car Transport to Iowa
The state of Iowa is hardly a popular auto transport location; the reason why is because most of the state is fairly rural. You have some pockets of people that form some metropolitan areas, such as Des Moines and Cedar Rapids, but on the whole Iowa really isn't that popular from a customer or a carrier standpoint, and the lack of major interstates - there's just one east-west and one north-south interstate that go through the state - doesn't help either. Typically carriers will charge more on … [Read more...]
