Auto Transport Connecticut

Connecticut is one of the smallest states in the Union, ranking 48th in terms of total area, but with a population of 3.6 million residents it ranks 29th in the U.S. in terms of total population and 4th in terms of population density. Connecticut is perhaps not the most popular state in terms of auto transport, given its location in the depths of New England and its relative size and lack of major metropolitan areas, but there are still plenty of carriers that run routes to and from Connecticut on a regular basis, so finding auto transport to or from the state should not be too difficult for us here at Cruise Control Auto Transport.

Hartford is the state capital though it is not the largest city; that distinction belongs to Bridgeport, though it is hardly classified as a “large” city. I-95 is the main north-south interstate highway running through Connecticut and it services much of the state’s metropolitan areas. I-91 is another major north-south interstate that services much of the center of the state, including Hartford and the areas directly north and south of the city. I-84 is the main east-west interstate and also travels through Hartford, though it goes in more of a north-east/south-west orientation as opposed to straight east-west. I-95, despite being classified a north-south interstate, has a large stretch down near the southern border that travels east to New London before splitting into I-395, an auxiliary interstate that runs north to the border while I-95 turns northeast and begins running more north until the eastern border of the state.

During the summer months average highs in the state reach into the mid-to-upper 80’s, with overnight lows typically dropping down into the lower 70’s. Summertime generally brings with it rolling thunderstorms, though on the whole the weather is fairly nice and easy to travel through. During the winter months snow is a lot more common, though definitely worse in the higher elevations. This can cause problems for carriers trying to move to or from the state in the winter months and could affect your auto transport quotes negatively. Many people ship down south from Connecticut during the later summer and into the fall, to take advantage of the great deals for snowbird auto transport services at that time.

Connecticut has long been home to major factories and industrial companies, and though manufacturing has taken a backseat to retail in the U.S. manufacturing is still a major part of Connecticut’s economy. The manufacturing of transportation equipment, aircraft, military weaponry, submarines, industrial machinery, electrical equipment and metal products still dominate the manufacturing sector, with other major sectors of the state’s economy including healthcare, financing (especially hedge fund groups), pharmaceutical and chemical manufacturing, and agriculture. Major agricultural outputs for the state include dairy products, eggs, cattle, tobacco, and seafood, including clams and lobsters.
