Weather plays a bigger role in car shipping than most people realize. Every season brings its own set of challenges, and knowing what to expect can make the entire process less stressful.
In the summer, extreme heat often slows drivers down and puts more strain on vehicles and equipment. It’s not unusual for carriers to plan routes and pickups around cooler parts of the day to protect both the load and the truck itself.
The fall brings another challenge with storms and hurricanes across the Gulf and Atlantic coasts. These weather events can force detours and schedule adjustments, but experienced carriers track forecasts constantly and make changes to ensure safe delivery.
Winter, especially in New England and northern states, is often the most difficult time of year for auto transport. Snow, ice, and reduced visibility can stretch out delivery times. Professional drivers prepare for these conditions and communicate closely with customers when delays are unavoidable.
By spring, the biggest concern tends to be heavy rains and flooding in certain regions. While this can create unexpected detours, spring is also one of the more affordable seasons to ship, since demand is lower compared to summer and winter peaks.
No matter the season, the most important thing is working with a carrier that prioritizes safety and communication. At Corja Auto Hauling, every vehicle is fully insured, securely loaded, and transported by experienced drivers who understand how to handle the challenges of each season.
Shipping a car is about more than just miles on the road. Timing and weather matter too, and with the right team, you can ship confidently in any season.
