Talk of the Town: Birmingham Auto Transport Services

If you're searching for Birmingham auto transport services, you need to understand a bit about the city itself and what's really going on when it comes to transporting your vehicle in or out of the city. When you're transporting from areas directly north of the state, carriers will typically use I-65 to get from there down into Birmingham, as I-65 is the only major north-south interstate that goes through the city proper. What's nice is that I-65 actually connects with I-20 in the city, which makes it easier for carriers running routes in the region to simply stop in Birmingham, pick your vehicle up (or drop it off), then head down south into Louisiana and Texas via I-20.

What's also nice is the fact that Alabama has several major metro areas that sit along I-65, including Montgomery and Mobile. Mobile is perhaps more popular, at least for auto transporters, because it's where I-65 connects with I-10, the most highly-traveled interstate south of I-20. As it runs from California to Florida, I-10 is a major east-west interstate that services only the southern parts of Alabama - but the fact that it connects to several different interstates along its route definitely helps the cause as well.

City Spotlight: Auto Shipping to Birmingham

Founded during the heart of the Reconstruction period, Birmingham has been a major transportation and manufacturing center in the state of Alabama since its founding. Though its foundation was laid in part thanks to a major railroad junction, the city has boomed into one of the primary pillars of the manufacturing sector of Alabama proper - not to mention a fairly popular auto shipping destination.

Birmingham lies on several major north-south and east-west interstate routes, making it easy for auto shippers to transport cars to, from and through the city. Prices stay pretty standard on a per-mile basis throughout the year; shipping numbers stay fairly consistent throughout the year, whereas in many other areas prices could go up or down, depending on whether or not carriers are going to the area of if there is a large number of customers shipping in or out of a specific area. This means that your auto transport prices won't change too drastically, on the whole.
