Shipping a car in Tennessee
Nashville has drawn heavy migration from California, Illinois and New York, and Memphis is one of the biggest freight hubs in the country. Nissan builds cars in Smyrna, GM in Spring Hill and Volkswagen in Chattanooga, and Fort Campbell near Clarksville brings military moves.
Main routes: I-40, I-65, I-24, I-75 and I-81.
Cities we serve include Nashville, Memphis, Knoxville, Chattanooga and Clarksville, plus every other town in Tennessee: if a truck can reach it, you can post it.

When to ship to and from Tennessee
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 Tennessee?
Once the car arrives, register it with your county clerk (Tennessee Department of Revenue). 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.
