Georgia to Missouri Auto Transport Challenges & Tips
Georgia to Missouri is a two- to four-day trip northwest through Tennessee. Monteagle Mountain, work zones on I-70 and spring storms cause most of the delays. Here's what to plan for.
Monteagle Mountain on I-24
Between Chattanooga and Nashville, I-24 climbs Monteagle Mountain on one of the steepest interstate grades in the East. Trucks crawl up and brake hard on the way down, and crashes or winter ice there can stop traffic 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 St. Louis and Kansas City, especially around Columbia.
Spring Storms and Flooding
From April through June, Missouri gets strong storms with hail and tornadoes, and heavy rain can flood low roads near the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers. Carriers wait out the worst of it, which can add a few hours or a day.
Tip: Pick a Spot Near the Interstate
Many Ozark homes sit on winding rural roads where a 75-foot car carrier can't fit. A large parking lot near I-44 or the nearest main highway is often the easiest place to meet the driver.
Tip: Line Up Your Inspections in Missouri
Missouri gives new residents 30 days to title their cars. A car titled in another state needs a VIN and odometer inspection, and older cars also need a safety inspection. In St. Louis City and St. Louis, St. Charles and Jefferson counties, you also need an emissions test. Ask your county assessor for a statement of non-assessment, too.
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.
