Tennessee to Utah Auto Transport Challenges & Tips
Shipping a vehicle from Tennessee to Utah comes with specific considerations. Here's what you need to know before booking:
Wind and Snow on I-80 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.
The Colorado Rockies on I-70
Carriers that take I-70 cross the Rockies at Eisenhower Tunnel and Vail Pass, both over 10,000 feet. Winter storms there can close the interstate for hours.
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.
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.
