Pennsylvania
Car Shipping To and From Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania has two big ends, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, joined by the Pennsylvania Turnpike. From Charlotte, the usual way in is I-77 north into Virginia, then I-81 up the Shenandoah Valley into central Pennsylvania. We ship cars both ways.
- Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and everything between
- Dealer trades, auctions and single cars
- Pickup and delivery windows confirmed first
Shipping across the Keystone State
Pennsylvania is in the Mid-Atlantic. The Pennsylvania Turnpike (I-76) crosses the south of the state from Pittsburgh through Harrisburg to the Philadelphia suburbs. I-80 crosses the north. I-81 runs from the Maryland line through Chambersburg, Carlisle and Harrisburg to Scranton and Wilkes-Barre. I-95 runs along the Delaware River through Philadelphia, I-78 serves Allentown and the Lehigh Valley, and I-79 runs north from Pittsburgh to Erie.
That gives carriers plenty of ways in. Philadelphia and its suburbs, Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, Allentown and Bethlehem, Lancaster, Reading, York, Scranton and Erie are all common pickups. State College and rural towns are served too; we just let you know before booking if the address changes the window.
From Charlotte to Pennsylvania
The lane from Charlotte heads up I-77 into Virginia, joins I-81, and follows it north through the Shenandoah Valley, across a short stretch of West Virginia and Maryland, and into Pennsylvania near Chambersburg. From there, Harrisburg is straight ahead, and the Turnpike carries cars east to Philadelphia or west to Pittsburgh. Cars headed for Philadelphia can also come up I-95 along the coast.
Pennsylvania dealers
We run dealer trades between Pennsylvania stores and stores in other states, pick up auction purchases, deliver new and sold vehicles to customers, and move fleet, rental and off-lease units. Several cars on one order is fine. When your regular carrier falls through, we can take the load as the backup, with one contact from the first call to the delivery BOL.
Loads booked under our Guaranteed Delivery Rate have the delivery window in writing; terms apply. See dealer trades and auction vehicle transport, or call the dealer desk.
Personal cars and families
We ship cars for families moving into or out of Pennsylvania, buyers who found a car in another state, students heading to Penn State or another Pennsylvania campus, and retirees who spend winters in the Carolinas or Florida. A daily driver goes on an open trailer. A classic or high-value car can go enclosed, and the open vs. enclosed guide helps you choose.
Here is the order of things. You send the details and a real person quotes the move. We vet the carrier and confirm the driver and truck. You get the pickup window and the expected delivery window before the truck rolls, and the shipment is fully insured. If anything changes on the road, you hear it from us first. The client portal at fctorders.com shows the driver's location while the driver is active and holds the delivery BOL.

Pennsylvania car shipping questions
Can you ship a car from Charlotte to Pittsburgh or Philadelphia?
Yes. We ship between the Charlotte area and both ends of Pennsylvania, and anywhere in between. Send the addresses and dates for a quote from a real person.
Do you serve the Lehigh Valley and Scranton?
Yes. We ship to and from Allentown, Bethlehem, Scranton, Wilkes-Barre and the rest of eastern Pennsylvania.
Does FCT have a Pennsylvania office?
No. FCT is based near Charlotte, NC and ships anywhere in the continental U.S.
Can you ship a car that does not start?
Yes. A non-running car changes the equipment the carrier needs, so mention it when you ask for the quote.
