Route overview
Almost all of it is one interstate. I-80 starts just across the Hudson in New Jersey and runs west through the Pennsylvania mountains, Ohio, Indiana, the south side of the Chicago area, Iowa and Nebraska. Near the Colorado line the truck turns onto I-76 for the last stretch southwest into Denver.
Winter slows the eastern half more than the western. I-80 across central Pennsylvania climbs through country that gets heavy snow, and northern Ohio and Indiana can catch lake-effect bands. Across Nebraska the bigger worry is wind and drifting snow.
The inspection at pickup takes a while: the driver circles the car, notes each chip, dent and scuff on the condition report and takes photos. In New York there’s rarely curb space for a carrier to stand that long, so plan to meet at a lot or an industrial street with room for the truck, and bring every key.
