Auto Transport Maryland

Located in the South Atlantic region of the U.S., Maryland is the 19th largest state in terms of total population; however, its size ranks it 41st in the U.S. in terms of total area, which means there is a rather large population living in a small area – this makes Maryland’s population density rank 5th in the nation. Maryland was originally founded in the 17th century as one of the thirteen original British colonies and it was the 7th state to ratify the U.S. Constitution in 1787. Maryland has long played a central role in the formation and governing of the U.S. – Washington D.C. was carved out of parts of both Maryland and Virginia while it was being planned and built in the early 19th century.

With a whole slew of different interstate routes running through the state of Maryland it’s no surprise that it is constantly atop the lists of the most popular auto transport states. I-68 is one of the state’s most popular interstates, running east-west across much of the state; I-95 is the most important north-south route running through Maryland as well, considering it runs from Florida all the way into New England. Other major interstates include I-70, which runs across much of the country, as well as I-81 and I-83, both north-south routes that help shippers get to or from one area of the eastern seaboard to another.

During the summer average highs rarely reach out of the upper 80’s, though temperatures in the low 90’s are not unheard of. Summertime is when most of the auto transport carriers are running routes in or out of Maryland due to the beautiful weather; during the winter months auto shippers don’t like to travel in New England or the South Atlantic because of the higher risks of snow and ice. This means that any routes that they take up north will cost you a lot more per-mile than if you were taking that same route during the summer months. Maryland is a popular snowbird transport state as well – many people will ship from Maryland during the late fall or early winter to get their vehicles down to the southeastern U.S. in order to beat the winter snows in the northeast.

Transportation has long been a major part of Maryland’s economy – for years it was considered to have one of the largest and most sophisticated transportation networks in the country, thanks mainly to Baltimore and its busy port. Aside from transportation, however, retail is a major sector in the state’s economy, as well as natural resource extraction and refining, raw materials manufacturing, tourism, agriculture, and more.
