Timing
When to Ship Oklahoma to Alabama
Storm season and Memphis traffic set the timing.
Oklahoma Ice
A few times a winter, ice storms on I-35, I-40, and I-44 can hold a pickup back a day.
Spring Storms
From April through June, severe storms around Oklahoma City and Tulsa can push a pickup back a few hours or a day.
Memphis Traffic
Rush hour on I-40 and the bridge can add hours. Drivers time their run through Memphis around it.
Game Days
Tuscaloosa and Auburn fill up on fall Saturdays. Weekday delivery is easier.

Before You Ship & After You Arrive
What to know before your car heads to Alabama.
Registering in Alabama
New residents have 30 days to title and register at the county license office. Alabama doesn't require a safety or emissions inspection. Check revenue.alabama.gov for current requirements.
Beach Condos
Condo lots on the Gulf are tight and gated. Plan to meet at a lot on the Beach Express or in Foley.
Alabama Registration
Alabama has no safety or emissions inspection. New residents register at the county license office within 30 days.
Oklahoma City Pickups
Oklahoma City, Edmond, Yukon, and Mustang sit where I-35, I-40, and I-44 meet, so carriers come through every day. Newer subdivisions often have HOA truck rules or tight cul-de-sacs, so the driver may meet you at the entrance or a lot near the interstate.
