Hoffman Estates 1Hoffman Estates is an affluent suburb of Chicago, located in Cook County and home to a population of over 51,900 residents. Established as a middle-class suburb on the outskirts of the Chicago metro area, Hoffman Estates began as a planned community of mass-produced homes on adjacent lots, much like how subdivisions are built today. After the Northwest Tollway opened in 1958, more and more people began buying homes in the then-subdivision, and it was incorporated as an independent city in 1959. The opening of a major shopping mall in 1971 brought new business to the area, and since the 1990’s the city has been working on economic and residential expansion with several new shopping centers built – and several more still in the planning stages.

Auto Transport Tips to Hoffman Estates

As a suburb of Chicago, Hoffman Estates is a popular auto transport location within the Chicago metro area, and this does wonders for many customers’ overall price as well as carrier availability, which impacts pickup and delivery windows as well as transit timetables. It sits adjacent to several major Chicago suburbs as well, including Schaumburg, Elgin, Arlington Heights, and Inverness, to name a few, and this really helps keep the area’s popularity high during most times of the year, and with several major businesses now headquartered in the city, including the Sears Holding Corporation – headquarters for Sears’ Midwest division – as well as the American arm of Mori Seiki, a major machining company.

If you’re shipping to or from Hoffman Estates, it really helps your price and overall timetable that it sits right along I-90, a major east-west interstate that runs through some of the largest cities in the northern United States. During the winter months it can be more difficult to find carriers to service the area due to wintry weather, which is common in the Hoffman Estates area, but winter weather is less of a deterrent due to the size of the Chicago metro area, which as the third-largest city in the nation is also one of the most popular auto shipping areas in the country. This tends to keep prices lower and carrier availability higher, since demand is always high year-round.
