New Jersey to Oklahoma Auto Transport Challenges & Tips
New Jersey to Oklahoma is a long run west, mostly on I-81 and I-40. Truck traffic on I-81, the Mississippi crossing at Memphis and spring storms on the plains cause most of the delays. Here's what to plan for.
Heavy Truck Traffic on I-81
Many trucks heading southwest from New Jersey take I-78 to I-81 through Pennsylvania and the Shenandoah Valley. It is one of the busiest truck routes in the East, much of it only two lanes each way, and crashes or winter ice can close it for hours.
The Memphis River Crossing
Trucks on I-40 cross the Mississippi on the Hernando de Soto Bridge in Memphis. When inspectors found a crack in it in 2021, the bridge was shut for nearly three months. A crash on either Memphis bridge can still back traffic up for miles.
Tornado Season
Oklahoma sits in the middle of Tornado Alley, and April through June is the peak of storm season. Carriers pull over and wait out severe storms, and hail is a real risk for cars on an open trailer.
Tip: Think About an Enclosed Trailer in Spring
If you're shipping a new or valuable car during spring storm season, ask about an enclosed trailer. It costs more, but it protects the car from hail and blowing debris.
Tip: Register at a Licensed Operator
In Oklahoma, you register at Service Oklahoma or at a Licensed Operator, which is what the state now calls its tag agencies. For a car moving from another state in the same name, the grace period is 30 days. After that, late penalties of $1 a day start, up to $100.
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.
