And it isn't hard to guess at the impact one of the harshest winters in recent history has had on the trade. The winter saw certain areas receiving unprecedented amounts of snow, which at worse caused route closures and at best created slower shipping times. Add this in with the restrictions placed on operators on how much they're allowed to work weekly and you have significantly reduced income over the winter. In order to combat this, some businesses have begun using free auto transport quotes as an attempt to attract new clients.
It would only be natural for the industry to hope to rebound as the winter gave way to spring but that hasn't been the case. There has been a rash of windstorms, tornadoes and other perilous weather which has caused serious delays and further damage to the industry. In just a three day span during this month alone there were over 240 twisters reported in 14 southern states.
It's true that these are challenging times for the auto and car transportation industry and things don't appear to be improving. The transportation industry is the backbone of the country and without proper support it may be in trouble. Make sure you are working with expert companies like Universal Auto Transport so that your shipping needs are met with the expertise that comes only with experience.
