Snowbird vehicle shipping season

by Gerald S | Oct 1, 2016 | Transport Tips

Snowbird vehicle shipping is a twice a year occurrence for the auto transport industry. For those who are unfamiliar with the term snowbird, it refers to the folks who migrate south for the winter from the colder areas in the northern parts of the country, then back in the springtime. Traditional routes for this migration are from New England to Florida in the east, the upper Midwest to Texas and the Gulf Coast in the central part of the US, and from Washington, Idaho and Montana to Southern California and Arizona.
