The Route
How Cars Get From Connecticut to Kansas
Carriers take I-84 to Pennsylvania and I-70 nearly the whole way, through Pittsburgh, Columbus, Indianapolis, and St. Louis into Kansas City. From there, Lawrence, Topeka, Manhattan, and Fort Riley are all on I-70 heading west.
Fort Leavenworth is just north of Kansas City on K-5 and US-73. Wichita is south of Kansas City on I-35 and the Kansas Turnpike.

Approximate distances. The exact route depends on the carrier's other stops.
Timing
When to Ship Connecticut to Kansas
Plains weather and Army school dates set the timing.
Summer PCS Season
Most Command and General Staff College students and Fort Riley soldiers arrive in summer. Book as soon as you have orders.
Spring Storms
April through June is tornado and hail season across Missouri and Kansas. Drivers wait out warnings.
Winter
Nor'easters at pickup and ice storms in Missouri and Kansas can slow trucks from December through February.
Fall
Usually smooth. KU and K-State football weekends make Lawrence and Manhattan busy.
Pricing
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car From Connecticut to Kansas?
Here's what affects the price on this route.
Distance
Kansas City is about 1,300 miles from Connecticut. Wichita is closer to 1,500.
A Busy Lane
I-70 carries lots of trucks into Kansas City, which keeps prices competitive.
Season
Summer PCS moves raise demand. Fall and winter are often cheaper.
Open or Enclosed
Open is the standard. Enclosed keeps hail and road debris off a nicer car.
Vehicle Size
Pickups and full-size SUVs take more trailer space than sedans, so they cost more to ship.
Date Flexibility
A flexible window lets us catch a truck already heading west on I-70.

Before You Ship & After You Arrive
A few Kansas-specific things worth knowing.
Registering in Kansas
New residents have 90 days to title and register at the county treasurer's office. Out-of-state vehicles need a VIN inspection by the Kansas Highway Patrol. Check ksrevenue.gov for current requirements.
Moving With the Military
We ship for officers, soldiers, sailors, Coast Guard members, and families moving from New England posts to Fort Leavenworth, Fort Riley, and McConnell AFB.
Corporate Moves
Relocating to Overland Park or Wichita for a new job? Tell us your start date and we'll plan around it.
Connecticut Pickups
Narrow streets in older parts of Hartford and New Haven, shoreline beach roads, and condo or HOA rules in Fairfield County can keep a carrier off your street. If so, the driver will set up a nearby meeting spot, usually a lot just off I-95, I-84, or I-91.
