Route overview

I-70 west through Ohio, Indiana and Illinois to St. Louis, I-44 into Oklahoma and I-40 across the Southwest into California.

Pittsburgh’s hills are the first thing to plan for. Many streets in the city and its older suburbs are too steep or too narrow for a carrier, so pickups often happen at a level lot nearby.

Once the truck reaches I-44 and I-40 it runs below the Rockies, which keeps winter delays down. Summer heat in the Mojave is the bigger concern for an older car.

FAQs

Pennsylvania to California: what makes the rate move?
Coast-to-coast summer demand is what moves it most. A September pickup out of Pittsburgh usually prices better than a June one.
Can I ship a car that does not run from Pittsburgh?
Yes, if it rolls, brakes and steers. Say so on the call so a carrier with a winch is assigned; the winch adds to the rate.
What if my street is too steep for the truck?
That is common in Pittsburgh. The driver meets you at the nearest level lot or wide street, agreed by phone before pickup day.
