Small, sparsely-populated, mountainous – Vermont is not what most people think of New England. Vermont has the second-lowest population in the United States, at little over 623,000 people, and is the sixth smallest, covering only 9,616 square miles. It has the smallest state capital by population, with Montpelier home to less than 8,000 residents. It’s the smallest “largest city” of any state as well, as Burlington is home to only 42,500 residents!
- Vermont loves skiing. It’s home to some of the largest ski areas in New England and the eastern United States in general. Sugarbush, Stratton, Smugglers’ Notch, Killington Ski Resort, and Bolton Valley are high on the list of skiers throughout the country. At the top of most folks’ lists is Stowe Mountain Resort, rated by Travel + Leisure as one of the Ten Best Ski Resorts in the US.
- Outside of tourism, one of the biggest economic drivers in Vermont is… maple syrup? As of 2010, there were over 2,000 maple product producers in the state, and in 2019 the state produced 1.98 million gallons of the sweet stuff – 46% of the country’s entire production and over 1,2 million gallons ahead of second-place New York. Worldwide, only Quebec produces more maple syrup.
- Vermont is, and always has been, one of the most progressive states in the country. In 1880, it was the first state to grant women partial voting rights, it was the first state to abolish slavery, and in 2000, it became the first state to recognize same-sex civil unions.
- The hills are alive with the sound of music… and you can visit them! The Trapp Family Lodge, just outside Stowe, is owned by the von Trapp family from The Sound of Music and features an on-site brewery, restaurant, cross-country skiing, and working farm. It’s still owned and managed by the Von Trapp family, and the graves of numerous family members – including matriarch Maria – are on lodge grounds.
- You never have to worry about calling someone else in Vermont and forgetting about dialing a different area code. As small as the state is, there is only one area code – 802 – for all phone numbers in the state with a few residents!
- What won’t you see in Vermont? Billboards. Since 1968, Vermont has been billboard-free, with only artistic and tourism-promoting exceptions granted over the years.
- Vermont may be the safest state in the country. Ranked #2 overall by U.S. News & World Report ranked second in the separate categories of property crime and violent crime in terms of crimes per 100,000 residents. While Maine was top overall and ranked higher first in terms of violent crime, its property crime rate came in fourth in the category.
- Vermonters love the outdoors and love to stay happy and healthy. It is regularly ranked as one of the country’s healthiest states – taking home the top spot in 2011 – and was ranked as the fifth most active state in 2018.
- Vermont’s education system is also considered to be top-notch. As of 2011, 91% of the population had graduated from high school, versus 85% nationally, and 34% had at least an undergraduate degree, compared with 28% nationally. As of 2013, the pupils’ ratio to teachers was the lowest in the country, making it an excellent state for kindergarten through graduate and postgraduate work.
With all that to offer, you’ve got to wonder why so few people are making Vermont home. Intelligent, safe, and plenty of outdoors to enjoy? Sounds just right.
Enclosed Auto Transport to Vermont
Vermont is wintery, that’s for sure. In Vernon, even the hottest recorded temperature isn’t all that high – 105 degrees. So while summer-winter threats are minor, there’s a real need for caution in the cooler months. On top of that, Vermont has some rough roads across the state and has few major thruways. Getting a vehicle from one point to another is a call for caution, especially winding through the gusty Green Mountains. That’s why many Vermonters still prefer sending their vehicle to or through Vermont partnered with a company that is prepared for any weather event. When you send your vehicle via enclosed auto transport, you’ll avoid damage from rain, wind-blown debris in storms, and other curveballs the weather throws out there.
The safest way to transport your car to Vermont 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 – In addition to the advantages of soft-sided carriers, hard-sided carriers offer protection for your car in the unlikely event your car is exposed to possible damage during transportation.
Open Auto Transport to Vermont
Thinking about using open auto transport for your Vermont 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 Vermont
With cities and towns stretching so far apart and the gravel and dirt roads that make up some of the rural roadways, having a heavy equipment transporter who knows what they are doing is integral to construction crews looking to succeed in Vermont. Hauling heavy equipment such as skidders and feller bunchers for the forestry industry or dozers, excavators, and graders for the building industry, lowboy services like those we provide at Number 1 Auto Transport help to get work done. Instead of pulling skilled workers away from their specialties to move equipment, many constructions and timber businesses choose to get a third party to move their equipment for them. That’s why construction teams across the Green Mountain State rely on the Vermont equipment transport experts at Number 1 Auto to ensure they stay on schedule and that everything gets to the next job site safely.
Transporting heavy construction equipment is a serious business. Our veteran lowboy carrier drivers are trained to handle oversized loads and high gross tonnage. Number 1 Auto’s drivers are skilled in moving heavy equipment in and out of job sites and navigating busy highways with unique loads.
