From L.A. to Las Vegas
Relocation is so much a part of our American lives that nowadays it is boiled down to nothing more than a statistic. Recent number suggest that the average American moves more than a dozen times. And while those moves are often local, sometimes we move across the country or at least to a different city.
A move from Los Angeles to Las Vegas may not sound like anything too crazy. After all, it is a trip of about 270 miles. No big deal, right? Well, that depends. In our ‘Car Shipping Los Angeles to Las Vegas’ guide, we will answer some of the following questions:
Why should I even consider shipping a car from L.A. to Las Vegas?
The Entertainment Capital of the World is a popular weekend destination for a lot of Californians, which makes interstate 15 quite a busy route. Statistics report the average daily auto traffic border number is 42,143 vehicles. Impressive, is it not? Say you decide to transport a vehicle yourself. You should then expect this drive to be congested with frustrating stop and go traffic. Also, some part of Interstate 15 is always under construction with often inadequate signage and poor lane markings. This, combined with a large number of travelers, results in frequent last-minute lane changes which often lead to accidents.
The stretch of I-15 between Barstow and California/Nevada state border at Primm was the single deadliest stretch of highway in the US from 1994 to 2008. Do not be surprised! This route offers long straight stretches that encourage speeding, sudden emergency braking and wild multi-car pileups. If this e situations does not seem at all that pleasant to you, it is not surprising. Traffic is a nightmare for quite a lot of people. Add that on top of the stress that you will have because of the move itself, and you have a recipe for disaster.
If you decide to embark on this short, but quite an intense journey, make sure to be well rested and in excellent health. Don’t forget to take a first-aid kid with you, fully charged cell phone and a charger for that phone. Experienced drivers should not be scared though, just be prepared. Aside all unpleasantness, you might be able to spot some really cool vehicles moving between California and Nevada.
