Shipping a car in Pennsylvania
Philadelphia is on the I-95 corridor and a big source of moves to Florida and the Carolinas, while Pittsburgh links to Ohio and the Midwest on the Turnpike. Central Pennsylvania's I-80 and I-81 are major truck routes that can get snowy in winter.
Main routes: I-76 (the Pennsylvania Turnpike), I-80, I-81, I-95 and I-78.
Cities we serve include Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, Allentown, Erie and Scranton, plus every other town in Pennsylvania: if a truck can reach it, you can post it.

When to ship to and from Pennsylvania
Winter weather
Winters in Pennsylvania bring snow and road salt, roughly December to March. Carriers keep running, but a storm can push pickup or delivery by a day or two. A car on an open carrier will arrive salty, so plan a wash.
Peak moving season
June to August is the busiest moving season in North America: school-year moves, new jobs and military transfers all land in summer. Posting early gives you more quotes and more choice of dates.
Moving to Pennsylvania?
Once the car arrives, register it with PennDOT. Ask what it needs for a vehicle registered somewhere else (often a VIN check, an inspection or an emissions test) before your old plates or insurance run out.
Shipping across the Canadian border? Only companies that handle cross-border work will quote, and you'll need the ownership or title, ID and a signed authorization letter; permanent imports have extra steps. Each cross-border route page explains the paperwork.
