Virginia to Utah Auto Transport Challenges & Tips
Virginia to Utah is a long trip west across the plains and the Rockies. Mountain snow on I-70 and I-80 and winter storms along the Wasatch Front cause most of the delays. Here's what to plan for.
I-70 Through the Colorado Rockies
Trucks on I-70 climb through the Eisenhower Tunnel at over 11,000 feet. Colorado's chain law for trucks can apply from September through May, and storms can close the highway for hours.
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.
Snow on the Wasatch Front
Big winter storms dump heavy snow along the Wasatch Front, from Ogden down to Provo. Traffic on I-15 slows to a crawl, and deliveries can slip a day.
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.
