Ohio to Utah Auto Transport Challenges & Tips
Ohio to Utah is a four- to seven-day trip of about 1,630 to 1,765 miles, mostly on I-80. Winter wind on the plains and mountain snow in Wyoming and Utah cause most of the delays. Here's what to plan for.
Blowing Snow on I-80
I-80 across Iowa and Nebraska is flat and open, and in winter strong winds blow snow across the road. Whiteouts can close it for hours, and carriers have to wait for it to reopen.
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 have to wait for it to reopen.
Parleys Canyon in Winter
I-80 climbs to about 7,000 feet at Parleys Summit before dropping into Salt Lake City. Winter storms can make the canyon slick and slow, and trucks sometimes need chains.
Tip: Book Two Weeks Ahead
This is a long route with fewer car carriers than the busiest lanes. Booking two weeks or more ahead gives you the best choice of trucks and a firmer pickup date.
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.
