Auto Transport Milwaukee

Milwaukee is the largest city in the entire state of Wisconsin. As the seat of Milwaukee County it is one of the most popular auto transport destinations in the state, and carriers are more willing to travel to or from the city thanks to its large population.

The city was founded by French fur traders, though when they first settled in the early 19th century the area was little more than a minor trading post in the middle of nowhere. It wouldn’t be until after the end of the American Revolution and the start of westward expansion that Milwaukee began to grow. Farming became a major part of the city’s economy, which in turn drew more residents. Manufacturing was present in a big way in Milwaukee until the de-industrialization of the 1970s and 1980s; since then, urban renewal has revitalized the downtown district.

During the summer months, average highs reach in the low-to-mid 80s, making it perfect for car shippers to run routes through the area. Winter, though, is the season you want to try to avoid when it comes to auto transport. During the winter months, snow is relatively common, thanks to its proximity to the Great Lakes. Normal highs during the depths of winter are in the low 30s, with overnight lows easily dropping into the low-to-mid teens – this can wreak havoc for a carrier’s mechanical systems, and as such shippers will either charge a lot more to ship there or avoid it altogether, so be wary.
