Is it me or am I the only one who was oblivious to the autotransport industry before 5 years ago? It appears to me thatthere are auto transport companies popping up all over the US,seemingly overnight. Where was this industry 10 years ago. Infact, I only first heard the term 'auto transport' about 5 yearsago. There are a few reasons for this phenomenon. Notsurprisingly, this has to do with the internet. What most peopledon't understand about the web is that it has spawned entire newcottage industries that just weren't all that big a decade ago.The auto transport business is a prime example of an industrylike that has been rapidly tranformed (or 'put on steroids,' asa lot of my more colorful friends would say) by the web. Hereare the two reasons why auto transport has taken off.
1) Ebay. Did you know that Ebay Motors is now the largest usedcar dealership in the world. Yes, Ebay sells more cars thananyone else on the planet. And Ebay wasn't formed that long ago(late 90s if I'm correct). Well, chances are that if you want tobuy a car, it probably isn't going to be located anywhere nearyour present location. And your car has to get to the new ownersomehow. That's where auto transport companies come in. Ebay hasbeen a shot in the arm to the auto transport industry. Now, whenyou buy a car, these companies arrange the vehicle to bedelivered to you. Ebay is the one single company that has had amassive effect on the auto transport industry.
2) Increased mobility and price comparison ability. BesidesEbay, there are tons of other small car dealers and auto lotsall around the country who have websites. They list theirinventory and people from around the country (even around theworld) can peruse the merchandise. If you like a car in Dallasand you happen to live in Philadelphia, you can have it shippedto you through an auto transport company.
The web has revolutionized many industries, auto transport beingone of them. Learn all about auto transport and how to save onthe fees by getting informed. Like anything, there is a rightway and a wrong way to go about it.
