Everything You Need to Know About the State of Vermont (VT)

In the 18th century, the British and French inhabited Vermont. However, both parties were at loggerheads until the French were defeated in the French and Indian war.  After the defeat, Vermont was then relinquished to England. Also, in the course of the American Revolution, Vermont declared independence, distinguishing itself from the original 13 colonies, even though the Continental Congress refused to acknowledge it. Eventually, Vermont was admitted into the union as the 14th state in 1790. This happened 14 years after it had become an independent republic. 

The state’s name is derived from the word “Montagne Verte”, which is French for Green Mountain. This name resulted in the state’s nickname “Green Mountain State”. Today, Vermont’s mountains are a popular destination for skiers and snowboarders. It is the country’s foremost producer of maple syrup and is the home to the popular Ben & Jerry’s ice cream.

On October 5, 1798, congressional representative Matthew Lyon was indicted under the Sedition Act for criticizing President John Adams in a letter he had written to Spooner’s Vermont Journal. Fined $1,000 and sentenced to four months in jail, Lyon was re-elected to Congress while in prison.
In 1814, Emma Willard started to teach scientific and classical subjects to women out of her home in Middlebury. She started this when she noticed a major discrepancy in the quality of education among women and men. Subsequently, her ideas on improving women’s education gained the attention of Thomas Jefferson and John Adams in 1819, when she was invited to open a school in New York. She later went ahead to teach at the Troy Female Seminary, which opened in 1821.
One of the first ski lifts in the U.S. was manufactured on a farm in Woodstock in 1934. Designed by Wallace “Bunny” Bertram and powered by an antique Model-T Ford engine, the tow pulled people up a hill while holding on to a moving rope.
On January 31, 1940, Ludlow, Vermont, resident Ida May Fuller was the first person to be allotted the first monthly Social Security benefit check. Fuller received this check after she retired from her job as a legal secretary. The check was to the tune of $22.54—$2.21 less than the total taxes withdrawn from her salary during the three years that she worked under the Social Security program.
On May 5, 1978, Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield opened their first Ben & Jerry’s Homemade ice cream shop in a renovated gas station in Burlington. In 2000, Unilever acquired the infamous brand for approximately $326 million in cash.
Vermont became the first state to legally acknowledge civil unions between partners of the same sex in April 2000. Nine years later, the state legislature granted full marriage rights to same-sex couples.
Montpelier, with fewer than 9,000 people, is the smallest state capital in the United States.
Car Shipping in Vermont

Steps Involved in Car Shipping in Vermont
  1. Find a Suitable Company

A vital step in this process if finding the perfect company to handle your car shipping. It is crucial you pay attention to this process as it determines how smooth your experience will be. When choosing a company, you should confirm that it has an insurance cover. You should also request a detailed quote, delivery arrangements, and don’t forget to confirm the available payment options.  

  1. Make Pick-Up and Delivery Arrangements

Upon conclusion and finalization of terms, you and your preferred company will choose a suitable pick-up date and time. The company will then go ahead to ship your car to your destination of choice.

  1. Receive your Vehicle

When your car has been transported to its new location, you or your representative will be contacted to receive the car at the agreed upon location.

  1. Check for Damages

Sometimes, in the course of transportation there can be damages made to the car. Upon receipt of the car, you should confirm that your car is in the same condition in which you shipped it. To be sure of this, you can take pictures of your car before and after to make appropriate comparisons.  Don’t forget to make all the proper markings of any damage to the bill of lading prior to you signing it.

In addition, some factors determine the cost of car shipping in Vermont. The most common factors are:
  1. The distance covered while shipping. The shorter the distance, the smaller the amount you pay, and vice versa.
  2. The specification of the vehicle, how big and heavy it is also affects the price.
  3. Cars shipped to areas where the shipping company frequently go to and/or drives through are likely to cost cheaper than those shipped to more remote areas.
  4. Cars shipped in peak periods like the summer when most people travel, typically cost more, than those shipped during other seasons.

    Vermont has 2,843 miles (4,575 km) of highways under its control. Three Interstate highways and five U.S. highways go in to Vermont. This is inclusive of the state’s highway network.

    Vermont’s primary mode of travel is by automobile. As at 2008, 5.7% of Vermont households did not own a car, and in 2012, there were 605,000 vehicles registered, with nearly one car for every person in the state. This is comparable to the average car ownership nationwide. In 2012, it was discovered that about half the carbon emissions in the state resulted from vehicles.

    Averagely, 20–25 people die yearly as a result of drunk driving incidents in Vermont, and about 70–80 people are involved in fatal car crashes in the state. However, motorists have the highest insurance rates in the United States, competing with Pennsylvania at 93%.

    In 2010, Vermont owned 2,840 miles (4,570 km) of the highway. This was the third smallest quantity among the 50 states in the country. Approximately 2.5% of the highways in Vermont were listed as “congested,” making the state rank the fifth lowest in the country. Its highway fatality rate was one per 100,000,000 miles (160,000,000 km), ranking tenth lowest in the United State’s. The highways cost $28,669 per 1 mile (1.6 km) to maintain, the 17th highest in the states. 34.4% of its bridges were rated deficient or obsolete, the eighth worst in the nation.

    Individual communities and counties have public transit systems, but their coverage is frequently limited. Greyhound Lines services a number of small towns. Two Amtrak trains serve Vermont, the Vermonter, and the Ethan Allen Express. In early 2011, Amtrak evaluated the track used by the Ethan Allen Express between Rutland and Whitehall as the worst in the nation, but subsequent improvements to the track later in 2011 vastly improved its performance going forward.

    Trucks weighing less than 80,000 pounds (36,000 kg) can use Vermont’s interstate highways, as the limit for state roads is 99,000 pounds (45,000 kg). This means that vehicles that exceed this limit cannot legally use these roads, but will have to make use of secondary roads.

    In 1968, Vermont banned the use of billboards for advertisement along its roads, making it one of the four states in the U.S. to do this. The other states are Hawaii, Maine, and Alaska.

    Vermont has a ferry service that is active all year-round. This ferry service works to and from New York State across Lake Champlain from Burlington, Charlotte, Grand Isle, and Shoreham. All of these ferries are operated by the LCTC (Lake Champlain Transportation Company), with the Shoreham ferry as the only exception.

    The LCTC (or just LCT) provides car and passenger ferry services at three points on Lake Champlain in the United States. From 1976 to 2003, it was owned by Burlington, Vermont, businessman Raymond C. Pecor, Jr. who is Chairman of the company’s board. In 2003, he sold the company to his son, Raymond Pecor III.

    Lake Champlain is the thirteenth-largest lake in the United States, reaching a maximum width of 12 miles (19 km) and depths of more than 300 feet (91 m). As such, there is no bridging of the “broad lake” north of Crown Point, New York, and south of the Rouses Point-Alburg-Swanton crossing near the Canada–United States border, although bridging of the lake near Plattsburgh has been proposed. The ferry service provides convenient transport across the lake between New York and Vermont, with approximately one million passengers crossing the lake by ferry yearly.

Needed to move a John Deere Gator from central NJ to upper VT. It has a low clearance due to an attached snowplow. Ship a Car was awesome. VERY responsive every step of the way. They even found a quality carrier $200 less than the initial quote! Carrier was professional and had the right vehicle. Arrived exactly on time. Gator arrived safely. Happily paid the reasonable cost and dramatically reduced my anxiety. Great job.
