Timing
When to Ship West Virginia to Connecticut
Mountain and Turnpike winters set the timing.
Mountain Snow
From December through March, snow on I-64, I-77, and I-79 through the mountains can push a pickup back a day.
Turnpike Snow
Snow over the Allegheny tunnels on the Pennsylvania Turnpike can slow an eastbound truck in winter.
Northeast Winter
From December through March, snow and ice in Pennsylvania and New England can slow a truck a day.
Fairfield County Traffic
Rush hour on I-95 and the Merritt Parkway can add hours. Drivers time deliveries around it.

Before You Ship & After You Arrive
What to know before your car heads to Connecticut.
Registering in Connecticut
New residents have 60 days to register with the CT DMV. Out-of-state vehicles need a VIN verification, and most cars need an emissions test every two years. Check portal.ct.gov/dmv for current requirements. Snowbirds who stay Connecticut residents just keep their Connecticut registration.
Shoreline Towns
Narrow streets and tight driveways in Greenwich, Darien, and the shoreline towns often mean meeting at a train station lot.
Campus Deliveries
New Haven and Storrs fill up during move-in. Pick a weekday and a nearby lot.
Morgantown and Clarksburg Pickups
Morgantown, Fairmont, Clarksburg, and Bridgeport are reached on I-79 and I-68. Steep streets around WVU and in the older neighborhoods often mean meeting at a lot.
