North Carolina to West Virginia moves are usually families moving back home, job relocations to Charleston and Morgantown, and students at WVU and Marshall. I-77 carries trucks every day. Mountain winters and hollow roads take the most planning.

Timing
When to Ship North Carolina to West Virginia
Mountain winters set the timing on this route.
Carolina Ice
A few times a winter, ice storms around Charlotte, the Triad, and the mountains can push a pickup back a day.
West Virginia Mountains
Snow and ice on I-77 and the West Virginia Turnpike can slow a northbound truck from December through February.
WVU Game Days
Morgantown fills up on fall Saturdays. Weekday delivery is easier.
Fall
Usually the smoothest window, before the mountain snow starts.
Pricing

Southern vs. Northern WV

Steep hollow roads and narrow drives often mean meeting in town.

Before You Ship & After You Arrive
What to know before your car heads to West Virginia.
Registering in West Virginia
New residents have 30 days to title and register with the WV DMV. West Virginia requires an annual safety inspection. Check transportation.wv.gov/dmv for current requirements.
Hollow Roads
Narrow, winding roads up the hollows aren't safe for a loaded carrier. Plan to meet in town or along the main road.
West Virginia Inspection
West Virginia requires an annual safety inspection. There's no emissions test.
Charlotte Pickups
Charlotte, Huntersville, Matthews, and Concord sit where I-77 and I-85 meet, so carriers come through every day. Many newer subdivisions have HOA truck rules or tight cul-de-sacs, so the driver may meet you at the entrance or a lot near the interstate.
