How To Arrange Auto Transport for Your Vehicle in December Holidays

The month of December is what the auto shipping industry refers to as Seasonal Fluctuations. When you decide to transport your car during this month you need to keep in mind that the time frame can be a bit less precise. This can be attributed to the erratic weather during December and a substantial increase in shipping orders which often results in shipping delays.

Why December Holidays are the Toughest for Car Transport

The rest of the year also experiences ups and downs for e.g the starting period of spring and the end of summers observe a transport increase due to a gradual rise in snowbirds and students wanting to get their cars shipped as soon as possible. The starting periods of winter also sometimes face exhausting routes in different parts of the country due to frequent roadblocks caused by snow.

But still, December is considered the toughest period for car transport activities, whether it be a bulk of cars or just a single one. This can be attributed to three main culprits.

Bad weather
Holiday season
Few auto transporters on the road

A combination of these three factors makes it very hard for the driver to get the shipments delivered quickly which results in prolonged delivery times.

A burst of shipment orders whether it be the piling of inventory by dealers or increase in the purchase of used vehicles. Additionally, if you decide to add a car on that list for a holiday present the demand for car transport increases exponentially. There are a ton of cars to ship but everyone likes holidays including the carriers. The number of active auto shippers is at an all-time low during this period. Due to this the car shipping industry refers to the period between Christmas and New Year's Eve as a dead week due to the low number of active car shippers.

Add into that some conventional bad weather stuff such as roadblocks caused by snow or excessive slippery roads with zero traction and other various hazardous conditions, no other month holds a candle to December when it comes to auto shipping. Therefore, it is wise to consider some points that will keep your vehicle in good shape during the whole process of vehicle shipping in this month.
