Everything You Need to Know About the State of Nebraska (NE)

On 1st March 1867, two years after the civil war ended, Nebraska became a part of the Union, making it the 37th state in the country. The state possesses a lot of lands suitable for farming and ranching activities. Before it became a state, Nebraska had a small population that later grew during the California Gold Rush in 1848. This increase in population came with a large wave of settlers arriving as homesteaders in the 1860s. Omaha was the state’s initial territorial capital of Nebraska, but the seat later moved to Lancaster. After Abraham Lincoln’s assassination in 1865, Lancaster was renamed Lincoln in his honour. 

Nebraska shares boundaries with South Dakota to the North, Colorado to the South, Wyoming to the West and Iowa and Missouri to the East. It has the appellation Nicknamed “Cornhusker State,” and its motto is “Equality Before the Law.” 

In 1922, the biggest exhibited mammoth skeleton in the world was found on a farm in Lincoln County. The skeleton, known as "Archie", originated from the Late Pleistocene Era and is on display at the University of Nebraska State Museum.
The renowned Kool-Aid drink was invented in Hastings, Nebraska, in 1927. The drink is Nebraska’s official soft drink and was the product of Edwin Perkins’ innovation. In 1872, J Sterling Morton suggested a holiday was granted in Nebraska to promote tree planting. This resulted in what is known as “Arbor Day” today. The first Arbor Day was on 10th April 1872, and approximately one million trees were planted. Forty-five other states had adopted the holiday by 1920.
The world’s most extensive train yard is the Bailey Yard in North Platte. It is situated on 2,850 acres of land covering eight miles. The train yard manages as many as ten thousand rail cars every day. In its vast locomotive repair shop, it can repair as many as 20 cars per hour.
The Ogallala Aquifer, which lies beneath 174,000 square miles of eight states extending from South Dakota down to western Texas, provides almost all of the water for residential, industrial and agricultural use in the High Plains region. Two-thirds of Ogallala's total supply comes from Nebraska.
Car Shipping in Nebraska

Nebraska is a beautiful state and has many attractive qualities. You may be considering moving to Nebraska and wondering how to ship your car. Car shipping in Nebraska is quite straightforward and can be done without difficulties if the right guidance is provided. 

Here is a guide on what you need to know about car shipping in Nebraska.

Choosing the Best Car Shipping Company

You should carefully consider the following when choosing a car shipping company:

  1. Company’s Reputation

It would be best to conduct extensive research on the company you are considering. Look out for reviews of prior customers and observe what they have to say about them. Companies with many negative reviews should be completely avoided; however, the same is true for a company that has no negative reviews.  Good and bad reviews are all part of business and all businesses get both.  Instead, read over the reviews to really get a feel for what customers are saying.

  1. Insurance Coverage

The safety of your car in the car shipping process rests solely on the company. This means that the company bears the cost of any damage to your car in this period. Hence, you must confirm the insurance coverage of the car shipping company. You should ensure that there is no form of ambiguity in this area.  If you are not satisfied with the coverage that the carrier has, you can ask your freight broker if they provide additional insurance that you can purchase.

  1. Transparency

Transparency is very crucial when dealing with auto transport companies. You must be observant and confirm that the company is as transparent and straightforward as possible. Be sure that all forms of communication are clear and lack vagueness.

  1. Licences and Registration

Certain licenses and registrations are required to operate a car shipping company in Nebraska. Running an auto transport business without them is illegal. Hence, in your findings, confirm that your preferred company has the required licenses and registrations; all of which can easily be verified through the FMCSA.

Tips for Reducing Car Shipping Costs in Nebraska
  1. Be Flexible on Your Pickup and Delivery Schedule

You will have to pay extra if you need a pickup and delivery right away or within a very little window of time. You may negotiate better discounts when you have a flexible delivery schedule.

  1. Choice to Transport on an Open Car Carrier

Open carriers and enclosed carriers are the two basic categories of carriers.  The automobile is loaded onto the rear of an open-air trailer for travel using an open carrier and secured so that it won’t fall off. Whereas this alternative is less expensive, it has the drawback of exposing your car to all types of weather and the potential for road debris while it is being transported.

  1. Transport During the Off Season for Your Route

Seasons exist in the automobile transportation business. Transport is more expensive during peak seasons and significantly less expensive during low seasons.  As your broker to advise you on when your particular route is cheapest to run and have your vehicle transported then.

  1. Discounts

Make sure that you are taking advantage of all of the discounts that are available to you.  For example, Ship A Car offers many different discounts including but not limited to:  senior discounts, student discounts, first responder discounts, and repeat customer discounts.

I recently hired Ship-a-Car to transport a car cross country. I had used another company several times in the past, but a friend recommended Ship a Car and they were substantially less expensive so I gave them a try. Everything was done as promised without any complications. The car was delivered in good condition. I now see that the reviews are quite mixed. Had I read them first I might not have used the company, but my experience was positive. I worked with Joseph.

Ship A Car has been great. We've used them multiple times. We've shipped my cars back east multiple times for various trade shows, and then we've had them returned. They've been able to meet and exceed every shipment that we've had. So, I'm very pleased with them. Their communication was very precise and reactive. So, they had a quick response time.

I spoke with Maria Frew when inquiring about shipping a Kia Sportage and a Yamaha golf cart. She was informative, professional and competitive in her pricing. In addition, she assured me that the golf cart was able to be shipped despite what another carrier had told me. The service provided was excellent. I highly recommend Ship A Car and Maria Frew.
