About Shipping in Denver
Denver, Colorado is the Mile High City, serving as the primary economic and transport hub for the Rocky Mountain region. Its position at the crossroads of I-25 and I-70 makes it the gateway for vehicle shipments crossing the Continental Divide. The city's booming population growth drives strong and growing vehicle shipping demand.
I-70 through the Rocky Mountains west of Denver is one of the most challenging carrier routes in the country, with steep grades and frequent winter closures. I-25 provides the main north-south corridor along the Front Range. Altitude and rapid weather changes require carriers to be prepared for conditions year-round.
