Timing
When to Ship Wisconsin to West Virginia
Chicago traffic and mountain weather set the timing.
Chicago Traffic
Nearly every load heading south or east runs through Chicago. Rush hour on the Edens, the Kennedy, and the Dan Ryan can add hours, so drivers time the run around it.
Wisconsin Winter
From December through March, snow on I-94, I-43, and I-90 can push a pickup back a day.
Mountain Snow
From December through March, snow on I-64, I-77, and I-79 in the mountains can slow a delivery a day.
WVU Game Days
Morgantown is packed on Mountaineer home Saturdays. Weekday delivery is easier.

Before You Ship & After You Arrive
What to know before your car heads to West Virginia.
Registering in West Virginia
New residents have 30 days to title and register with the WV DMV. West Virginia requires an annual safety inspection. Check transportation.wv.gov/dmv for current requirements.
Hills and Hollows
Hillside streets and narrow hollow roads aren't safe for a loaded carrier. Plan to meet at a lot near the interstate.
Inspection Sticker
West Virginia requires an annual safety inspection once a car is registered there.
Milwaukee Pickups
Milwaukee, Wauwatosa, Brookfield, and Waukesha sit on I-94 and I-43, so carriers pass through every day on the way to Chicago. Older city blocks with alley garages usually mean meeting on a wider street.
