Route overview
Nearly the full width of the country on the northern tier. The truck takes I-80 west across Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, picks up I-90 around Chicago, rides I-94 through Milwaukee, the Twin Cities and North Dakota to Billings, then follows I-90 over the Montana Rockies and the Idaho panhandle into Seattle.
Winter is what stretches this run. North Dakota and eastern Montana get hard cold and blowing snow, the Montana passes can need chains, and Snoqualmie Pass, the last climb before Seattle, sometimes closes in a storm.
A carrier can’t pull into a building garage, so a Seattle apartment or condo delivery happens at the curb or in a lot nearby. Know where the car will be parked before the driver arrives, especially if the garage needs a fob or a permit.
