Minnesota to Arizona: The Snowbird Corridor

The Minnesota to Arizona corridor is one of America’s quintessential snowbird routes. When temperatures drop below zero in Minneapolis and St. Paul, thousands of Minnesotans make the annual migration to the warm deserts of Arizona, particularly the Phoenix-Scottsdale metropolitan area. At approximately 1,640 miles, this route spans from the frozen lakes of the Upper Midwest to the sun-baked Sonoran Desert.

Long Distance Towing has been serving this snowbird corridor since 2010, and we understand the seasonal rhythms that drive demand on this route. Every fall, as the first cold snaps hit Minnesota, our phone lines light up with snowbirds ready to ship their cars south. And every spring, as the desert heat intensifies, the reverse migration begins. We have built our capacity planning around this predictable cycle, ensuring carriers are available when you need them most.

Whether you are a seasonal resident heading to your Scottsdale winter home, a retiree making a permanent move to Sun City, a Mayo Clinic employee transferring to Arizona, or a car buyer who found the perfect vehicle across the country, our own hauler network delivers safely with our price guarantee.
