For the eighth consecutive year, Atlanta, Georgia, has topped Penske Truck Rental's list of Top Moving Destinations.

<p>
Atlanta is not the only city making a repeat appearance on the annual list.
<a href="https://blog.gopenske.com/news/penske-truck-rental-releases-2016-top-moving-destinations-list/" rel="noopener">Last year's No. 3 city, Phoenix, Arizona</a>, has reclaimed its spot as the second most-moved-to city in the U.S. Appearing at No. 2 in 2015, Phoenix has appeared as a top moving destination since the list's inception in 2011.
</p><p>
Also noteworthy, Portland, Oregon, has made its debut appearance on the annual list, and Houston, Texas, has moved up from No. 9 to No. 4.

Making an appearance in the top 10 for the first time since 2012 is Charlotte. Interestingly, only three states (Georgia, Florida and Texas) account for half of the placements.
<p>
<u>Penske Truck Rental 2016 Top Moving Destinations (previous year ranking)</u>

“It is remarkable that Atlanta continues to dominate this list," remarked Joe Hill, the new senior vice president for Penske Truck Leasing's Southeast region.

<li>Florida and Texas are the only states to have multiple markets appear on all seven lists</li>
<li>Dallas/Fort Worth has finished as a runner-up three times (2010, 2012 and 2016)</li>
<li>Atlanta is the only No. 1 representative in the list's history. Call it a seven-peat?</li>
<li>Denver's current No. 4 placement is the market's highest-ever finish; in 2013 it was ninth</li>
<li>Phoenix has never fallen below the top five while appearing on every list</li>
<li>Charlotte was on the first three lists (2010, 2011 and 2012); its average placement ranking is 9.75</li>
</ul>
<p>
“The list is compiled via analysis of one-way consumer truck rental reservations made via the company's website, calls to our 1-800-GO-PENSKE call center, and through one-way reservations made at Penske's more than 2,300 truck rental locations," explained Don Mikes, senior vice president of rental.

Penske Truck Rental’s Annual Top 10 Moving Destinations
January 12, 2012
For the second straight year “Move Ahead" is presenting Penske Truck Rental's list of top moving destinations. Just like in 2010, the 2011 edition has plenty of sunny locales. Here is the list:
<p>
1. Atlanta
</p>
<p>
2. Phoenix
</p>
<p>
3. Orlando, Fla.
</p>
<p>
4. Dallas/Fort Worth
</p>
<p>
5. Chicago
</p>
<p>
6. Houston
</p>
<p>
7. Denver
</p>
<p>
8. Seattle
</p>
<p>
9. Sarasota, Fla.
</p>
<p>
10. Charlotte, N.C.
</p>
<p>
In comparison to <a href="https://blog.gopenske.com/news/penske-truck-rental%e2%80%99s-top-10-moving-destinations-for-2010/">last year's listing</a>, the Atlanta market is again the destination of choice. There are no new market entries.
</p>
<p>
No region moved up or down more than two positions, with Dallas/Fort Worth dropping two places, from second to fourth. Half the list (Atlanta, Chicago, Houston, Sarasota, Fla., and Charlotte, N.C.,) remained in identical positions.
</p>
<p>
“As this list indicates, U.S. residents continue migrating primarily toward warm weather areas," noted Don Mikes, Penske's vice president of rental. “The list is compiled through <a href="https://www.gopenske.com/locations/">online consumer truck rental reservations</a> and through our <a href="http://www.pensketruckrental.com/renting-from-penske/faq/">call centers</a>."
</p>
<p>
Visit <a href="http://www.pensketruckrental.com/">PenskeTruckRental.com </a>today to make your reservations. Penske offers a host of discounts, including for <a href="http://www.pensketruckrental.com/discounts/">AAA and CAA members</a>, veterans and the families of those serving in the <a href="http://www.pensketruckrental.com/discounts/military/">United States military</a>.
</p>
<p>
<em>Note: Parameters used to compile this list were based on requests for one-way moves in 2011.</em><em> </em>
