Auto Transport Georgia

The U.S. state of Georgia has just under 10 million residents, making it the 8th largest state in the U.S. in terms of total population; its total area ranks it 24th in the U.S., which makes the state of Georgia rank 18th in the U.S. in terms of population density. This relatively high ranking allows auto transport carriers to quickly find loads throughout many portions of the state, which ultimately leads to cheaper rates to or from that specific area. The state of Georgia was founded in 1732 as a British colony and was one of the original thirteen colonies that declared independence from the country in 1776. Georgia also was one of the original eleven states to secede from the United States in 1861.

Georgia’s two main interstate highways are I-75 and I-85, both north-south routes that service many different areas of the state, including Atlanta, the state’s largest city and metropolitan area (not to mention most popular auto transport location). Georgia may not have a lot of interstates running through it but it does have several major auxiliary interstates that service different metro areas as well as many state highways that connect to the interstate at various locations. Car carriers often will transport to or from Georgia because of the size of its cities and its sprawling network of interstate and state highways that make traversing the state that much easier for them.

Auto transport carriers also like taking routes in and out of Georgia because the weather is typically nice. During the summer months car carriers often run to and from Georgia and will typically give great deals; however, during the late fall and into the winter months, hurricanes become a problem in the area, which could raise your auto transport prices. At the same time, though, many carriers also offer transport from New England and other northern states down south in an effort to make some money off of what are known as “snowbirds”, people who routinely ship their vehicles down south for the winter and back up north during the spring. Georgia experiences relatively warm summers, with highs typically reaching into the low-to-mid 90’s during the day. Winters are more mild and snow is fairly uncommon at most lower elevations, making it even easier for carrier to run routes to or from the state.

Since it was first founded the state of Georgia has long been reliant on agriculture as a major source of income. Georgia, at one point, was one of the largest producers of cotton in the world, and while today it is not nearly as large a sector as it once was agriculture is still a main part of Georgia’s rather robust economy. With the diversification of the U.S. economy Georgia has followed suit; today, many large companies are headquartered in the state of Georgia. Major economic sectors include communications, textiles and agriculture, light manufacturing, pharmaceuticals and healthcare, real estate, retail, and tourism.
