Auto Transport to Metro Columbus, Ohio
The Columbus, Ohio Metropolitan Statistical Area, also known as Metro Columbus, is a metropolitan area anchored by the city of Columbus, in the U.S. state of Ohio. Metro Columbus spans ten counties and is home to over 1.96 million residents, and is also the anchor of the larger Columbus-Marion-Zanesville Combined Statistical Area, which adds an additional seven counties as well as seven micropolitan and smaller metropolitan areas outside of Columbus. On the whole, Metro Columbus sprawls across central Ohio and is the third-largest metro area in the state, though Columbus is the largest city by population in Ohio. Regardless, auto transport to Metro Columbus should not be difficult to find, which is always good news.
The reason why it shouldn’t be hard to get a vehicle shipped to or from anywhere in the Columbus, Ohio metro area is because of its size and its location. Auto shippers like to run routes into and out of major cities and metropolitan areas because they have a higher chance of coming out of the area with a full truck. When the population increases, the number of potential customers does as well, so there are more opportunities for carriers to find loads. This allows car transporters to actually lower their prices for auto transport to metro Columbus because they can spread their costs, and how they pay them, among the multitude of different customers, so they can keep prices competitive, keep their trucks full, and keep their profit margins in the black.
It also really helps that metro Columbus sits along several major interstate highways. The two main ones are I-70 and I-71, with the former being one of the most important east-west interstate highways in the region. I-70 carries a lot of car transportation traffic and runs through some of the largest cities in the Midwest. Carriers that have access to major cities while sticking to major interstates can help keep their costs to customers lower while also decreasing the amount of time it takes to get from pickup to delivery for any given customer. The more customers that a carrier can service in a day, the more they make, so if they stick to high-speed roads that can take them through multiple major cities in a day they’re going to save money, which, as we’ve mentioned, helps to keep prices lower and more competitive, and so on.
