Timing
When to Ship West Virginia to North Dakota
Northern Plains winters set the timing on this route.
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.
Chicago Traffic
Rush hour on the Dan Ryan, the Kennedy, and the Borman can add hours. Drivers time their run around it.
Prairie Blizzards
From November through March, ground blizzards on I-94 can close the road across North Dakota for a day.
Spring Thaw
Load limits on rural roads in March and April can keep a carrier on the main highways.
Pricing
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car From West Virginia to North Dakota?

Red River Valley vs. the West

Before You Ship & After You Arrive
What to know before your car heads to North Dakota.
Registering in North Dakota
New residents title and register with the NDDOT Motor Vehicle Division. North Dakota doesn't require a safety or emissions inspection. Check dot.nd.gov for current requirements.
Deep Cold
A Fargo January runs well below zero. A block heater, a strong battery, and winter tires make a real difference.
Gravel Roads
Rural roads turn soft after rain and thaw. Plan to meet the driver on pavement in the nearest town.
Huntington and Parkersburg Pickups
Huntington, Barboursville, and Parkersburg sit along the Ohio River on I-64 and I-77. Most addresses have room for a carrier, though narrow river-town streets sometimes mean meeting nearby.
