Wisconsin Questions
What are frost laws, and do they affect my pickup?
Frost laws are Wisconsin’s spring weight limits. While the ground thaws, roughly March into May, many towns and counties post limits on local roads to keep heavy trucks from breaking them up. A loaded car carrier is well over those limits, so rural pickups in spring usually meet on a state or US highway.
Do Packers games or AirVenture affect shipping?
Near Lambeau Field and Oshkosh, yes. Packers home games fill Green Bay’s roads, and EAA AirVenture brings huge crowds to Oshkosh for a week each July. We plan pickups around them, or meet away from the crowds.
Can you ship my Harley?
Yes. Motorcycles ship on carriers set up for bikes, or enclosed, whether the bike is headed to a rally, a new home or a buyer. See motorcycle shipping.
I just moved to Wisconsin. How do I register my car?
Through the Wisconsin DMV. Bring your title and ID, and check the DMV for the deadline. Cars in Milwaukee and several nearby southeast counties may also need an emissions test, depending on the model year.
What does it cost to ship a car to or from Wisconsin?
Distance, the vehicle, open or enclosed, and the season. A Milwaukee pickup near I-94 is the simplest; a farm road in April takes more planning. Get an exact quote or call (424) 453-1800.
Wisconsin Cities We Ship To
City-by-city shipping notes
Most pickups are in the southeast, between Milwaukee and Madison. Up north, the distances grow. Notes on each city:
Milwaukee
The largest city, on Lake Michigan where I-94 meets I-43. Older neighborhoods have narrow streets and alleys.
Madison
The capital and UW, on an isthmus between two lakes. Downtown streets are tight, so we meet nearby.
Green Bay
Home of the Packers, on I-41 and I-43. Game days fill the roads around Lambeau Field.
Waukesha
West of Milwaukee on I-94, with room for a carrier in most neighborhoods.
Kenosha and Racine
Between Milwaukee and Chicago, just off I-94.
Appleton
The Fox Cities on I-41, between Green Bay and Oshkosh.
Oshkosh
Home of EAA AirVenture each July, on I-41 by Lake Winnebago.
Eau Claire
Western Wisconsin on I-94, between Madison and the Twin Cities.
La Crosse
On the Mississippi at I-90, across the river from Minnesota.
Door County
The peninsula of summer towns north of Green Bay on WI-42 and WI-57, a long way from the interstate.

Frost Laws and Rural Roads
From late winter into spring, Wisconsin towns and counties post weight limits on local roads while the frost comes out of the ground. A loaded car carrier is far over those limits, so in March, April and sometimes May, rural pickups usually meet on a state or US highway. In winter, lake-effect snow near Lake Superior and storms elsewhere can push a date back a day.
Snowbird Season
Each fall, Wisconsin snowbirds head for Florida and Arizona, and each spring they come back. If you’re flying down and want your car waiting, book a few weeks ahead, since southbound carriers get busy in October and November. See snowbird car shipping, and ask about our senior discount.
