Colorado to Vermont Auto Transport Challenges & Tips
Colorado to Vermont is a cross-country trip of about 1,860 to 1,985 miles. Winter weather on the plains and along the Great Lakes, snow in the Green Mountains and spring mud season cause most of the delays. Here's what to plan for.
Blowing Snow on I-80
I-80 across Nebraska and Iowa is flat and open, and in winter strong winds blow snow across the road. Whiteouts can close it for hours, and carriers have to wait for it to reopen.
Lake-Effect Snow on I-90
From Cleveland to Syracuse, I-90 runs past some of the snowiest cities in the country. From December through February, lake-effect snow bands can close lanes or slow trucks with little warning.
Snow in the Green Mountains
Routes over the Green Mountains, such as US-4 into Rutland, get heavy snow from December through March. Storms can slow trucks or delay a delivery by a day.
Spring Mud Season
In March and April, Vermont towns post weight limits on many dirt and back roads while the ground thaws. A loaded car carrier may not be allowed on those roads, so rural deliveries often meet at a main road instead.
Tip: Register Within 60 Days in Vermont
Vermont gives new residents 60 days to register, or less if your Colorado registration runs out sooner. Bring your title, odometer reading, proof of insurance and proof of any sales tax you paid on the car, which Vermont credits against its own tax. After you register, you have 15 days to get the car inspected.
Tip: Prepare Your Vehicle Properly
Clean your car and remove personal items before pickup. Take date-stamped photos from every side, keep the gas tank at a quarter full or less, and check tire pressure. For a full checklist, read our article on Preparing Your Car for Transport.

Yes. Carriers with a winch can load and unload a car that doesn't run, as long as it rolls, steers and brakes. Expect to pay about $150 to $300 more than for a running car, and tell us the car doesn't run when you request quotes so you are matched with the right carrier.
