Georgia to Pennsylvania Auto Transport Challenges & Tips
Georgia to Pennsylvania is a two- to four-day trip north, either up I-95 or through the mountains on I-81 and I-79. Traffic around Washington, truck traffic on I-81 and winter weather cause most of the delays. Here's what to plan for.
Heavy Truck Traffic on I-81
I-81 through Virginia and Pennsylvania is one of the busiest truck routes in the East, and much of it has only two lanes each way. Crashes and winter ice can close it for hours.
I-95 Through Washington and Baltimore
Trucks heading north on I-95 pass around Washington, D.C., and through Baltimore's harbor tunnels, two of the worst traffic bottlenecks on the East Coast. Drivers try to time them for midday or late evening.
Lake-Effect Snow in Erie
Erie is one of the snowiest cities in the country, thanks to cold winds off Lake Erie. From December through February, heavy snow bands can slow traffic on I-90 and I-79 with little warning.
Tip: Pick an Easy Delivery Spot
Many Philadelphia streets are too narrow or crowded for a 75-foot car carrier. A large parking lot near I-95 or I-76 is often the easiest place to meet the driver.
Tip: Register Within 20 Days in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania gives new residents only 20 days to title and register their cars. You need Pennsylvania insurance, and the paperwork is done through an authorized agent, such as a tag service or notary. After you register, the car has 10 days to pass a Pennsylvania safety inspection.
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.
