Auto Transport New Jersey

New Jersey is a state located in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States and was originally founded in the late 1600’s by Dutch and Swedish immigrants. It was taken over by the British Empire during their colonization of America and after the American Revolution and the formation of the United States New Jersey grew rapidly as neighboring New York City grew into a major international city. Though New Jersey ranks just 47th in terms of total area, it is home to 8.8 million residents (which ranks 11th in the U.S.) and is the most densely populated state in the U.S. With that many people living in such a small area New Jersey is known for its metropolitan areas, especially northeastern New Jersey near New York City. Many auto transport companies are located in and operate primarily out of the state of New Jersey, which helps when it comes to finding transportation to or from the state.

One of the problems with having so many people living in such a small area is the need for a highly developed infrastructure in terms of transportation. New Jersey has a number of interstate highways that run through it, many of which auto transporters frequently run routes on. Due to its location on the Eastern Seaboard, New Jersey has a lot of interstates that run west into the U.S. as opposed to along the coast, though I-95 is the main north-south interstate and is one of the most heavily-traveled in the state. I-76 and I-80 are the primary east-west interstates that service New Jersey. All three interstates are major highways that carriers travel on a regular basis, and which could save you some money if your route happens to take your carrier along those highways.

New Jersey is much more popular of an auto transport destination during the summer months than the winter months given the state’s penchant for snow during the depths of the winter season. During the summer daily highs average in the mid-to-upper 80’s, which is great for auto transport carriers because there is no worries about overheating or getting stuck idling on a hot day in the middle of traffic. Heatwaves can happen, though they are relatively rare. During the winter months, though, shippers don’t like to travel to New Jersey as often due to an increased risk of snow and ice. While not entirely common, it is not unheard of, though in more recent years winters have been more mild and carriers have been traveling through the state more often.

Long an industrial center of the United States, New Jersey’s economy is one of the largest and most diverse in the U.S. Major sectors of the state’s economy include chemical processing, industrial manufacturing, printing and publishing, energy production, tourism, healthcare, and banking and finance. It is home to many large companies. It is also a major transportation center and is the primary delivery location for car shippers trying to transport into New York City, as the city’s streets are too narrow typically for large auto transport trucks to maneuver around on.
