Rush hour on I-70 and I-64 through St. Louis can add hours. Drivers time their run around it.
Spring Storms
From April through June, severe weather on the Plains can hold a truck a few hours.

What to know before your car heads to Kansas.
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.
Johnson County Suburbs
Many neighborhoods in Overland Park and Olathe restrict big trucks. The driver will meet you at the entrance or a nearby lot.
Kansas Registration
Kansas has no emissions test, but cars coming from out of state need a VIN inspection before you title.
Pittsburgh Pickups
Pittsburgh, Cranberry, Monroeville, and the South Hills sit where I-76, I-79, and I-376 meet. Steep hills and tight neighborhood streets often mean meeting at a lot near the interstate.
