Wind is the wildcard. Snow slows you down; wind stops you. Here's how our Casper crews prepare for winter moves.
Check WYDOT before moving day
Wyoming's road status changes fast. Get real-time closures and advisories at the official WYDOT site: https://www.wyoroad.info/
Wind considerations
- I-80 west of Cheyenne closes to high-profile vehicles more days than you'd think
- Reschedule vs push through — a safe delay beats a truck rollover
- Padding + strap heavier items toward the truck floor
Snow & ice checklist
- Salt both driveways 24 hours before
- Lay towels or floor runners at every exterior door
- Turn on heat at destination before arrival
- Wrap electronics — cold + condensation kills
Cold-sensitive items
- Plants: transport in your car with heat on
- Liquids that can freeze/burst: bottled water, wine
- Wooden furniture: rapid temperature change can crack finishes
What if a storm hits?
