Tennessee to Wisconsin Auto Transport Challenges & Tips
Shipping a vehicle from Tennessee to Wisconsin comes with specific considerations. Here's what you need to know before booking:
Chicago Traffic
Almost every carrier headed to Wisconsin goes through or around Chicago. The expressways and tollways there are some of the most congested roads in the country, and a driver who hits them at rush hour can lose hours.
Wind and Snow on I-57
I-57 runs through mile after mile of flat, open Illinois farmland. In winter, blowing snow can drop visibility to almost nothing, and carriers will wait it out.
Wisconsin Winters
Wisconsin gets steady snow and deep cold from December through March, especially around Green Bay and in the north. Carriers often wait a day after a big storm for the roads to be cleared.
Tip: Plan Around Packers Home Games
On Packers home game days, more than 80,000 fans pack Lambeau Field and the roads around Green Bay. If you are shipping to Green Bay during football season, check the schedule and pick a different day.
Tip: Check for an Emissions Test in Wisconsin
Wisconsin asks new residents to title and register their cars once they move, using the MV1 application and the original out-of-state title. If you keep the car in Kenosha, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Racine, Sheboygan, Washington or Waukesha County, it may need an emissions test within 45 days of registering. DMV sends a letter if it does.
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.

Yes. Carriers with a winch can load and unload a car that doesn't run, as long as it rolls, steers and brakes. Expect to pay about $150 to $300 more than for a running car, and tell us the car doesn't run when you request quotes so you are matched with the right carrier. Shipping an Inoperable Vehicle explains how it works.
