Timing
When to Ship Pennsylvania to West Virginia
Mountain roads set the timing on this route.
Pennsylvania Mountains
Snow on the Turnpike, I-80, and I-81 through the Alleghenies can push a pickup back a day.
Mountain Snow
From December through February, snow on I-79 and the Turnpike can slow a truck a day.
WVU Game Days
Morgantown is packed on home Saturdays. Weekday delivery is easier.
Fall
Usually the smoothest window, and the leaves are worth the drive.
