Auto Transporting: How Do We Get There?


Because we at ABC Auto Transport are dedicated to providing you with the fastest and best car transport services, we want to talk about a bit about a system that allows us to do our job: the Interstate Highway System.

The system began back in 1956, when General Eisenhower pioneered the idea after having driven across the country back in 1919 on Lincoln Road, the first road to span the country, and after seeing how the German Autobahn aided national security and allowed for auto car transport and mobility.

If you’re looking for auto transport Florida, for example, chances are your auto transporting would begin using I-95, the interstate that serves the most states – 15 – and is also the longest north to south. The major insterstate routes were planned to be divisible by 5 and increase from 5 to 95 as you move east, and from 10 to 90 as you move from south to north.

There are also auxiliary three digit interstates. Let’s say that we’re auto transporting from Miami to L.A. But you’re moving to Santa Monica and we don’t want to go through downtown L.A. on the I-5. So we’ll take the I-405 which is a loop around L.A. – and also happens to have the most volume out of any interstates. Hmm, maybe we’ll look for an alternate auto transporting route…
