New York to Utah Auto Transport Challenges & Tips
Shipping a vehicle from New York to Utah comes with specific considerations. Here's what you need to know before booking:
Wind and Snow in Wyoming
I-80 across southern Wyoming is high, open and known for strong winds. In winter, snow and wind can close long stretches of it, and carriers headed for Utah have to wait for it to reopen.
Parleys Canyon
I-80 drops into Salt Lake City through Parleys Canyon on a long, steep grade. Winter storms there can slow trucks or close the canyon for a few hours.
I-15 Traffic on the Wasatch Front
Most of Utah's people live along I-15 between Ogden and Provo, and it gets very busy at rush hour. Deliveries to Provo, Orem and the south valley often go more smoothly midday.
Tip: Plan Your New York City Pickup
Commercial trucks are banned from New York's parkways, and many city blocks are too tight for a 75-foot carrier. Pick a large parking lot or a wide street near a truck route where the driver can stop safely, and have it in mind before the driver calls.
Tip: Get a VIN Inspection in Utah
Utah gives new residents 60 days to transfer their title and registration. Any car being titled in Utah for the first time needs a VIN inspection. If you live in Cache, Davis, Salt Lake, Utah or Weber County, you also need an emissions test. Regular passenger cars don't need a safety inspection to register.
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.
