Pennsylvania Car Shipping

We do our fair share of Pennsylvania auto transports. There are some ideal car shipping locations in the state and there are some less-than-ideal locations. Let’s look at the best car shipping locations in Pennsylvania first.

Without question, Philadelphia and the surrounding suburbs is the best car shipping location in Pennsylvania. With a metro population over 6.2 million people, and conveniently served by three interstates (I-476, I-76, and I-95), it is an ideal location for a car carrier to ship cars to or from. Philadelphia also has proximity to some solid New Jersey locations just across the Delaware River so that adds to its allure for car carriers as well.

The next best car shipping location in Pennsylvania is Allentown, which is located about 64 miles north of Pennsylvania. Allentown is another decent sized city with a metro area population of around 865,000 people. It’s also served by a couple key interstates, I-476 and I-78. Whenever you have a decent size metropolitan area with a couple interstates passing through it, you’re going to have plenty of car carriers to choose from.

Another good car shipping location is Scranton, located further north of Allentown. The population of the Scranton metro area is around 562,000 people and is served by multiple interstates as well. Those interstates include I-81, I-476, and I-380.

Finally, the city of Pittsburgh can be a decent car shipping location (but not always). What can make Pittsburgh challenging at times is its geographical location in the state. It's not along any commonly travelled north/south or west/east trucking route. It's sort of "off the beaten path" of common shipping routes. Still, though, it is a large metropolitan area so it has plenty of car carrier activity and is a common car shipping location in the state.

Now let’s look at the more challenging locations to ship cars to or from Pennsylvania. Those locations in the northern section of the state, particularly those locations in or near the forests of northern Pennsylvania, are going to challenging. Those forest areas include the Allegheny National Forest, Susquehannock State Forest, and Sproul State Forest. These are areas that car carriers aren't travelling to on a regular basis so these transports take more time and more money to complete.
