Auto Transport Arizona
How the cities, highways and weather in Arizona affect shipping a vehicle to or from the state.
The state of Arizona has a population of just over 6.5 million residents, which makes it 15th largest in the U.S. in terms of total population. However, it is the sixth-largest state in the U.S. in terms of total area, which makes it rather odd that the population density of the state ranks it just 33rd in the U.S. in that category. It was the last of the contiguous 48 states to be added to the Union and the state has grown primarily on the back of Phoenix, its largest city and metropolitan area. The majority of the population of Arizona reside in or around Phoenix; the rest of the state is sparsely populated due to the fact that the majority of the state is located in the southwestern desert of the United States.
Despite the rather high number of interstate highways that weave in and around the state of Arizona, it is not the friendliest of auto transport states mainly because the state is sparsely populated. There are long stretches of desert scenery in the state where there are few customers; this makes it difficult for auto transporters because they must go long distances between customers and rest areas. Major east-west interstates include I-8, I-10 and I-40, while major north-south interstates are I-17 and I-19. Phoenix is the largest and perhaps easiest city for shippers to get in and out of due to its sheer size.
Arizona is one of those states that sees almost no snowfall – because of its location in the desert, Arizona sees more triple-digit days in terms of temperature than almost any other state in the Union. During the summer months average highs hover right around 100 degrees, with overnight lows dipping down into the upper 70’s or lower 80’s. Some carriers will avoid Arizona for a few weeks during the hottest points of the year, as some older trucks are not able to handle such high temperatures for too long a duration. During the winter months is when Arizona sees most of its auto transport traffic, considering the fact that the temperatures are much more mild and the industry in general tends to shift to more southern-based routes as opposed to northern ones, as to stay away from the heavy snows and harsh weather more common in northern states.

What customers said
This is the first time we used this service. They were amazingly prompt on the pick up and delivered early. Andrew was very communicative and pricing was very fair. Car was delivered in the condition it was picked up in. I would recommend them to anyone looking to long distance ship a vehicle. Andrew was great to work with.
I spoke with Andrew who turned out to be the owner of the company and he provided the exceptional customer service that he promised. He answered the phone whenever I needed information. A very pleasant experience overall.
Andrew was truthful and trustworthy. Past experiences created skepticism in me regarding having an auto shipped. However, Andy assured me his brokerage was different. He was totally forthcoming. I will, without reservation, use Cruise Control to move all of my vehicles! Andrew you rock!
