Wisconsin

Auto Transport Wisconsin

One of the largest Great Lakes states, Wisconsin experiences some harsh winters that can cause problems with auto shipping during the colder months. Frequent snow and icy roads can cause accidents and traffic congestions that can be exacerbated by stretched state funding for plowing services. While the topography is mostly flat in Wisconsin, a variety of lakes and rivers can occasionally flood, especially during the spring, making road conditions hazardous at times.

One of the most frequent hazards in Wisconsin is wildlife, specifically deer. In fact, the deer population before hunting season in 2008 was estimated at around 1.7 million. Auto shipping choices vary depending on the time of year. During the summer, open haulers are acceptable for almost all cars provided that soft top cars are properly waterproofed. During the winter, however, enclosed haulers are the best choice for all cars. Salt used to melt ice on all major roads in Wisconsin can spray up to cars on the hauler and cause damage to both the surface and underside of shipped cars.

If an enclosed hauler is not used, it is imperative that any rare or valuable cars are thoroughly cleaned when they reach their location.
