Auto Transport New Hampshire

New Hampshire, currently, has a population of just over 1.3 million residents, which ranks it 42nd in the U.S. in terms of total population; its total area ranks it 46th in the U.S. among the 50 states, which is good for 21st in terms of population density. Like most New England states New Hampshire is small and relatively rural, with population pockets such as Concord and Manchester dotting the state’s landscape. Founded in 1679, it was the first British colony to declare independence from Great Britain in 1776 and it was also the first state to create its own constitution.

New Hampshire has several major interstate highways that service much of the state. I-89 runs northwest from Concord to Lebanon and up into Vermont, while I-93 runs from Salem, on the Massachusetts border, all the way to Littleton on the Vermont border, connecting many of the more densely populated areas together. I-95 is the third interstate in New Hampshire, servicing much of Portsmouth before entering Maine and, ultimately, Canada. I-93 is perhaps the most popular, though I-95 is the only interstate that carriers can use to get to Maine. Shipping to New Hampshire is typically a bit more difficult due to the relative lack of major population areas and geographical isolation, though these interstates do make it easier for carriers to run routes to or from the area.

During the summer months New Hampshire rarely sees highs above 90 degrees during the day, with overnight lows often dropping down into the mid-60’s overnight. Aside from the geographical isolation of the state it should not be too difficult to find a carrier during the summer months, as there are many more carriers running routes during the summer than in the winter. Daily highs during the wintertime rarely get above freezing, with overnight lows often dropping down to single digits. This cold weather will have adverse effects on many transport trucks and as many cannot run routes along roads that are iced over or beleaguered with snow they will do their best to avoid those routes. This may increase your transport prices during the winter months and could also affect availability of a carrier as well.

The economy of New Hampshire has long been based on textiles and manufacturing, as most of New England was during the 19th and early 20th centuries. However, over the course of the 20th century the economic base of the state shifted to more retail than anything else, though major outputs of the state include machinery, electrical equipment, rubber and plastic products, and tourism. New Hampshire is one of the few states without a general sales tax or a personal income tax, and though its economy is not incredibly diversified at the moment efforts by the state legislature are ongoing.
