Moving to West Virginia? Ship Your Car with Number 1 Auto Transport

The only state in Appalachia, West Virginia, brings to mind bucolic hills, outdoor activities like fishing, hiking, and hunting, and a peaceful way of life. And that’s pretty accurate. It’s a small state – 24,230 square miles means it is 41 overall – with 1.8 million residents, sitting right in the middle of the pack as far as density goes. It’s also spread evenly, with cities sprinkled across the state but none being massive. The largest city, Charleston, is the second-smallest “largest city” in the country, even though states like Wyoming, Delaware, and North Dakota have only a fraction of West Virginia’s population. So what else makes West Virginia so unique?

  • West Virginia is the state that coal built. In the late 1800s, the coalfields of West Virginia became an essential resource for the growing industrial country. While we’ve seen plenty of alternatives to coal develop as we move towards a greener, more environmentally-friendly energy, West Virginia is still the second-largest coal producer in the country. The coal industry accounts for 2% of all employment in the state.
  • With enough time, coal will turn into a diamond – precisely what happened in Peterstown in 1928. The Jones family discovered a 34-carat diamond, the largest alluvial diamond ever discovered in North America.
  • Want to visit one of the oldest and most famous resorts in America? Near White Sulphur Springs, the Greenbrier has been a destination for Americans since 1778, with its waters having supposed curative powers, including easing arthritis. While that’s never been proven – or disproven – it hasn’t stopped 26 presidents, along with foreign dignitaries such as Indira Gandhi, the Duke of Windsor, and Princess Grace of Monaco, from making it a destination.
  • West Virginia was once meant to be the American government’s refuge in a nuclear war. Located under the Greenbrier, a bunker meant to house Congress in the case of an all-out nuclear war was installed while the hotel was undergoing expansion in the 1950s. Today, it is declassified and can be toured by visitors.
  • The most poorly-named river globally, the New River is the oldest in North America and potentially second only to the Nile as far as the oldest in the world. Much like the Nile, it also flows from south to north, setting it apart from almost every other river on the eastern seaboard.
  • The New River is central to outdoor activities around West Virginia. It’s one of the best fishing rivers in the state, boasting populations from smallmouth and largemouth bass to striped bass to walleyes, varieties of catfish, and much more. It has major Class II and III rapids and flat water areas for canoeing and motorboating. It also has the New River Gorge Bridge, a picturesque one of America’s highest bridges and the longest steel span bridge in the Western hemisphere.
  • Sitting in the tiny sliver of West Virginia between Ohio and Pennsylvania, Weirton is the only city in the country that sits in one state but touches two other state borders.
  • One of the most well-known cryptids in the world – right up there with Nessie, Bigfoot, the Jersey Devil, and the Yeti – the Mothman is supposedly seen in the Point Pleasant area of West Virginia. It has its own festival, was the subject of numerous books over the years, including The Mothman Prophecies, and even has its own beer!


Enclosed Auto Transport to West Virginia

The mountains of West Virginia make for some weather oddities. The state doesn’t see much in the way of severe weather throughout the year – it’s sheltered from the coast’s hurricanes and sees very few tornadoes yearly. It does see more than its fair share of blustery winter weather; the mountains themselves can bring hazards, including falling rocks and debris. The terrain also breeds heavy fog banks and many cloudy days throughout the year. With the unpredictable and often dangerous weather and terrain, it’s not surprising that many car owners looking to ship a vehicle to or through West Virginia partnered with a company that is used to preparing for and avoiding weather events. When you send your vehicle via enclosed auto transport, you’ll avoid damage from rain, wind-blown debris in storms, and other curveballs the weather throws out there.

The safest way to transport your car to West Virginia is within an enclosed auto transport. There are two options for shipping your car via enclosed auto transport:

  • Soft-Sided Enclosed Auto Transport – The heavy canvas covering the carriers protects your car from wind-blown debris, rain, sleet, snow, and other elements.
  • Hard-Sided Enclosed Auto Transport – In addition to the advantages of soft-sided carriers, hard-sided carriers offer protection for your car in the unlikely event your car is exposed to possible damage during transportation.


Open Auto Transport to West Virginia

Thinking about using open auto transport for your West Virginia car transport needs? Open carriers are the same double-decker car carriers the dealerships use. Your vehicle will be secured with state-of-the-art equipment and arrive at its destination within seven days of departure. Open auto transport is a secure and affordable way of shipping your car, protecting your vehicle from road vibration, excess mileage, and more.

Lowboy Carriers to West Virginia

Those mountains also make it a pain to get construction equipment from one site to the next, with steep inclines, tight back roads, and other headaches. Add to that the amount of mining and logging equipment moving around to support these two major economic drivers, and there is more than enough transport to be done. From timber companies moving skidders and feller bunchers to mining concerns transferring mining tractors, oversized trucks, and power shovels to builders needing to have a dozer or excavator moved, they want to be able to call on a team that has experience. That’s why construction teams across the Mountain State rely on the West Virginia equipment transport experts at Number 1 Auto to ensure they stay on schedule and everything gets to the next job site safely.

Transporting heavy construction equipment is a serious business. Our veteran lowboy carrier drivers are trained to handle oversized loads and high gross tonnage. Number 1 Auto’s drivers are skilled in moving heavy equipment in and out of job sites and navigating busy highways with unique loads.
