Route corridors and access
Shipments between Virginia and Ohio commonly use I-64, I-77 and I-81, with I-70 and I-71 inside Ohio. The mountain sections of West Virginia can slow trucks in winter. Tell us early about dense cities, gated communities or streets with limits for large trucks.
Open or enclosed
Open transport is the most common way to ship a car on this route and usually costs less. Enclosed transport is a better fit for classic cars, luxury vehicles, exotics, restored vehicles and high-value purchases.
