Auto Transport Massachusetts

Massachusetts has a population of over 6.6 million residents, which ranks it 14th among the 50 states in terms of total population. Due to its geographical size – it ranks 44th in the U.S. in total area – it ranks 3rd in the U.S. in population density. Everyone being close together, coupled with little space to build, makes space a premium in the state, and car shippers tend to like to travel to and from the state in the summer and fall months to take advantage of this. Massachusetts has long been pivotal to the longevity of the U.S. – founded in the early 1600’s by British colonists, it was at the forefront of the American Revolution, with many battles fought in and around Massachusetts, and Boston being home to such major events as the Boston Tea Party.

Because of its age and small size, Massachusetts’ transportation network is very sophisticated. I-90 is by far the longest interstate running through Massachusetts, starting at the New York/Massachusetts border and running east into Boston. I-91, I-93 and I-95 are all major north-south interstate routes that traverse the Massachusetts countryside, and Boston has its own auxiliary highway, I-495, that many car shippers use to transport cars to and from the Boston Metropolitan area. I-495 especially connects to several smaller interstates and state routes that carriers will use to transport their loads to harder-to-reach locations, without spending a ton on fuel like they would normally do on longer state routes through larger states.

Massachusetts typically enjoys warm and mild weather during the summer months – temperatures in the upper 80’s are most common, with spikes into the low-to-mid 90’s during the dog days of summer. Snow is common during the winter time, which makes car shipping more expensive and harder for us to book and find for you – Massachusetts sees very low temperatures during the winter months, especially at night when temperatures drop to below freezing during the depths of winter. Perhaps the most cost-effective time to ship is during the fall or early winter, before the snows set in; oftentimes car carriers will run deals for snowbird shippers heading down south to the Gulf Coast for the winter.

For a long time the state of Massachusetts’ economy was based heavily on agriculture, manufacturing and logging. Steel works and textile mills were also common, considering how many rivers and streams run through the state, though over the years Massachusetts’ economy has diversified greatly into many different sectors in order to keep up with the changing economic landscape of the United States. Many large companies are headquartered in the state and Massachusetts has a large number of private universities that generate a lot of revenue for the state. Other major sectors of the state’s economy include financing and banking, healthcare and pharmaceutical research and production, tourism, education and biotechnology. Massachusetts has one of the largest economies of the 50 states.
