Each Fall and Spring, the vehicle shipping industry experiences a seasonal trend due to "snowbird season," which lasts from October to May. During this time, millions of people from Canada and northern states travel to warmer areas, particularly Florida, which gains over 1 million winter residents.
 

The potential for quick profits on snowbird routes leads many drivers to abandon their usual routes, resulting in a shortage of carriers for regular transport across the U.S. This imbalance of supply and demand causes prices to rise and creates some delays.

While these delays are generally brief and manageable, you may encounter longer wait times for vehicle pickups and higher prices during this season. Understanding these trends can help you prepare for the added costs and time involved. Throughout the busy weeks at the start and end of snowbird season, a bit of patience goes a long way.
