Colorado to West Virginia Auto Transport Challenges & Tips
Colorado to West Virginia is a three- to seven-day trip east into the mountains. Wind and storms in Kansas, work zones in Missouri and the hills and fog of West Virginia cause most of the delays. Here's what to plan for.
Wind and Storms on I-70 in Kansas
I-70 across eastern Colorado and Kansas is long, flat and open. Strong crosswinds, spring storms and winter blizzards can slow trucks or close the road for hours.
Work Zones on I-70 in Missouri
Missouri is adding a third lane to much of I-70 across the state. The work zones can slow trucks between Kansas City and St. Louis, especially around Columbia.
Mountain Grades in West Virginia
I-64, I-77 and I-79 climb long grades through the hills of West Virginia, and many towns sit on narrow, winding roads. Snow and fog on the grades can slow trucks, especially from December through March.
Fog in the River Valleys
Fog often settles in the Ohio and Kanawha River valleys on cool mornings, especially in fall. Drivers slow down until it lifts, which can push back an early delivery.
Tip: Title and Register Within 30 Days
West Virginia gives new residents 30 days to title and register their cars. Bring your out-of-state title, a title application (Form DMV-1-TR), an odometer statement, proof of West Virginia residency and insurance from a company licensed in West Virginia. The state's 6% sales tax usually doesn't apply to a car already titled in your name in another state, as long as you apply within the 30 days.
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.
