Moving to Iowa? Ship Your Car with Number 1 Auto Transport

You know what it has to offer if you live in Iowa. One of the best-kept secrets in the country, Iowa is more than just cornfields – although it’s got plenty of them too.

• Want to run the bases like Shoeless Joe or fade into the cornfield? The iconic field from Field of Dreams can be found in Dyersville, Iowa. Learn about the movie, the field, and much more.
• With over one million visitors yearly, the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines is one of the country’s oldest and most-visited state fairs, active since 1854. Check out the traditional Butter Cow statue, a feature of the fair for over a century, or try their latest fried Frankenstein foods – Fried Coke, Bacon-Wrapped Pig Wings, fried bacon-wrapped hot dogs, Dessert Poutine, and more on the menu. You’ll need to walk the full 445 hectares of land the fair takes up to burn those calories.
• Check out the World’s Largest Truck Stop, Iowa 80, in Walcott. With features including the largest trucker’s store in the country and several restaurants, the truck stop employs nearly 500 workers and covers 220 acres.
• Iowa City is home to the Iowa Writers’ Workshop, the first American city ever designated by the United Nations as a City of Literature.
• West Branch, Iowa, is home to the Herbert Hoover National Historic Site and the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library and Museum. Our 31^st President was born and lived on the former’s site and is buried on the latter’s grounds.

Iowa has plenty of reasons to settle down as well. It’s the second most capable state for wind generating capacity for electrical energy, by percentage, and the top state for sourcing power for its residents from the wind. With so many wind farms, it is also home to some of the biggest producers of turbines and components, including Acciona Energy of West Branch and TPI Composites of Newton, Iowa. It’s a significant player in the agricultural industry, the top state in America for corn production and hog farming, and often the top for soybeans.

Enclosed Auto Transport to Iowa

Iowa is part of Tornado Alley, so you know that storms play a significant role in yearly activities. It also hosts some harsh winters, as places like Mason City often sit below freezing for weeks. You’ll want to work with an Iowa auto transport company that knows how to protect your major investment, whether it is a luxury sedan or a high-end SUV, regardless of the weather. By sending your vehicle via enclosed auto transport when looking for car transport in Iowa, you’ll avoid damage from rain, heavy winds, wind-blown debris, and snowfall. Shipping your car to Iowa in an enclosed carrier is a wise investment.

The safest way to transport your car to Iowa is within an enclosed auto transport. There are two options for shipping your car via enclosed auto transport:

• Soft-Sided Enclosed Auto Transport – The heavy canvas covering the carriers protects your car from wind-blown debris, rain, sleet, snow, and other elements.
• Hard-Sided Enclosed Auto Transport – Besides the advantages of soft-sided carriers, hard-sided carriers offer protection for your car if your vehicle is exposed to possible damage during transportation.

Open Auto Transport to Iowa

Thinking about using open auto transport for your Iowa car transport needs? Open carriers are the same double-decker car carriers the dealerships use. Your vehicle will be secured with state-of-the-art equipment and arrive at its destination within seven days of departure. Open auto transport is a secure and affordable way of shipping your car, protecting your vehicle from road vibration, excess mileage, and more.

Lowboy Carriers to Iowa

From new manufacturing facilities in Council Bluffs to businesses in Cedar Rapids, growth across the state calls for construction equipment to be moved around.
