Why Car Shipping Prices Increase in Winter
Right and smooth answers come with good questions. Today, we are going to ask why car shipping prices increase in Winter. There are many reasons, but I want to summarize them for you and categorize them into three topics: road conditions, driver availability, and prep for tax season.
During the winter, most drivers avoid driving due to road conditions. Icy roads are making it hard to drive, and statistically, truck accidents are more serious in winter, according to reports. And high speed winds are more often in Winter and it also affects the drivers' driving. So when they don't want to drive in bad weather, it directly affects the prices.
Most drivers, after long working hours in out of Winter season, want to take a break during the Christmas holiday. And they want to spend time with their family. Bad weather conditions are one of most strong effect that impact their decision as well. On the other hand its a common behaviour of drivers which is not drive in the winter season. We can't say that everyone does the same, ages of drivers are regenerating with newbies, and what I am saying is the experienced ones know how to handle bad weather, and they don't want to work with bottom price lines its also increasing the prices. While newbies and less experienced drivers don't want to risk themselves, the whole winter market leaves to the masters.
And the third one, which is prep for tax season by dealerships. They are starting to make preparations for tax season, which is their most important period of the year to make money.
So they do this and impact supplies to the upcoming high demand. While this is happening, the drivers are less on the market due to the weather and their preferences, they start to pick the loads and book all week long. Due to the commercial aspect of the market keeping them busy, the public side of the market's prices are increasing.
