Everything You Need to Know About the State of West Virginia (WV)
During the Civil War that lasted between 1861 and 1865, the Virginia state voted to disaffiliate from the United States. People from the mountainous western part of the state were against the decision and decided to create their own state to support the Union. That was what led to the formation of the state West Virginia. On June 20, 1863, congress instituted West Virginia as a state.
The West Virginia town of Harpers Ferry was the location of John Brown’s ill-fated 1859 raid on the federal arsenal there. Although Brown’s plan to arm a large-scale slave rebellion with weapons from the armory eventually failed, and Brown was hanged. The raid was not successful with inflaming white Southern fears of slave rebellions and increased the increasing tension between the North and South preceding the Civil War.
Today, West Virginia is a major coal-producing state, contributing 15% of the country’s coal. The New River Gorge Bridge near Fayetteville is the longest steel arch bridge in the world. Every October, the town hosts a Bridge Day celebration when the road is closed to traffic, and people are allowed to parachute and bungee jump off the bridge. The event entices almost 100,000 participants and spectators each year. Popular West Virginia natives include actor Don Knotts, gymnast Mary Lou Retton, and test pilot Chuck Yeager.
Between 250 and 150 B.C., the Adena people built the Grave Creek Mound in Marshall County. Now standing at 62 feet tall with a 240-foot diameter, it is the country’s largest conical burial mound. In 1838, two men dug their way into the mound, revealing a burial chamber with skeletons and jewelry.
The Greenbrier, a luxurious resort in the Allegheny Mountains in White Sulphur Springs, was used on the outset of World War II to accommodate diplomats from Germany, Italy, and Japan until American diplomats detained overseas could be returned home safely in exchange. In 1942, the U.S. Army purchased the hotel and converted it into a hospital where, over the course of four years, more than 24,000 soldiers were treated.
In 1942, West Virginia passed a law that required students and teachers to salute the American flag and recite the Pledge of Allegiance. When Walter Barnette, a Jehovah’s Witness, refused to do so on the grounds that it negated his religious beliefs, he was expelled from school. On June 14, 1943, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette that forcing individuals to salute the flag was a violation of their freedom of speech and religion.
Two apple varieties originated from West Virginia: the Grimes Golden apple, discovered on a farm near Wellsburg in the early 19th century; and the Golden Delicious apple, found on a farm in Clay County in the early 20th century. In 1995, the Golden Delicious apple was tagged the official state fruit of West Virginia.
New River Gorge Bridge, with a span of 1,700 feet, is the longest steel arch bridge in the Western Hemisphere. Every third Saturday in October the Fayetteville Bridge hosts a festival that includes hundreds of BASE jumpers plunging 876 feet into the river below.

How to Choose a Reliable Auto Transport Broker
Testimonials and Success Stories
The statement, “experience is the best teacher” has never been truer than in car shipping services. You can get recommendations from past users. Since they had first-hand experience with the service provider, you can know the quality of service you can expect from them. Similarly, you should ask more than a person to see if they have similar testimonies.
Affordability
Do not buy into the lie that, “it has to be expensive to be of a great quality.” That is not true as an empty barrel can be noisy too. Rather, you can get a pocket-friendly service, yet of a good quality. In addition, you should consider your pocket before going ahead.
Validation from Authorities
Validation from authorities is non-negotiable. You do not want any authority to impound your car while shipping it into another location. Hence, you must ensure that the service provider is fully licensed. More so, this validation helps to know if you can trust them with your property.
Insurance
Insurance is important as it helps to mitigate risk. Make inquiries about your provider if they have one. This way, you can rest assure that there will be no cause for alarm or doubt over the availability of your vehicle.
Now, the process involves:
Choose a company
Now that you know the kind of company you should choose, you can proceed to pick one. If you need an accomplice, you can visit the company with a friend (preferably the one that recommended or approved the place). This makes you feel at ease and able to express any requirement you might want the car shipping service provider to do.
Have necessary agreements with them
Agreements can be verbal and written. You can examine the contract to know the terms and conditions. If there are things you are not cool with, feel free to express your displeasure and how you would want a different service. Ensure you are on the same page before you proceed to make payment.
Schedule all appointments (Pick-up and delivery)
Appointments are the D-days. Have a fixed date (or range) for pickup and delivery. It is inevitable as that is the reason for using their services in the first place.
Examine your vehicle afterward
You should examine your vehicle to be sure it is in the optimum state after delivery. If there are parts you think got damaged while transporting, kindly contact the service provider. This is a reason you must ensure they have insurance. Their insurance policy can cater for possible damages.

Rail lines used to be more prevalent in West Virginia, but over time, many of the lines have been discontinued because of increasing automobile traffic. Many old tracks have been transformed to rail trails for recreational purposes. Although the coal-producing areas still have railroads functioning at near capacity. Amtrak’s Cardinal roughly parallels I-64’s path through the state. MARC trains serve commuters in the eastern panhandle. In 2006, Norfolk Southern along with the West Virginia and U.S. Government approved a plan to revise many of the rail tunnels in West Virginia, especially in the southern half of the state, to allow for double-stacked cars. It is also expected to help bring economic development to the southern half of the state. An Intermodal Freight Facility is located at Prichard, just south of Huntington.
West Virginia University in Morgantown takes pride in its PRT (personal rapid transit) system. The PRT is the state’s only single-rail public transit system, and was developed by Boeing, the WVU School of Engineering and the Department of Transportation. The system was a model for low-capacity light transport designed for smaller cities. Recreational transportation opportunities abound in West Virginia, including hiking trails, rail trails, ATV off-road trails, white water rafting rivers, and two tourist railroads, the Cass Scenic Railroad and the Potomac Eagle Scenic Railroad.
West Virginia has 37 functioning public airports. The airports in the state are well connected to many major U.S. cities, and are customer focused in the services and facilities they provide.
There are no international airports in West Virginia, and their main regional airports are the Raleigh County Memorial Airport at Beckley, the Yeager Airport at Charleston, the Harrison-Marion Regional Airport at Clarksburg, the Tri-State Airport at Huntington, the Greenbrier Valley Airport at Lewisburg and the Morgantown Municipal Airport the Mid-Ohio Valley Regional Airport in Parkersburg
The Yeager Airport is the largest airport in West Virginia, and is located close to Charlestown, the state’s capital. It services 76,000 passengers yearly, and also services major airlines as Delta, American, United, Spirit, and a number of international carriers.
The area of West Virginia amounts to 24,231 square meters (62,758 square kilometers), including 24,119 square meters (62,468 square kilometer) of land and 112 square meters (290 square kilometers) of inland water.
Mississippi is the longest river in West Virginia (about 277 miles long). However, West Virginia is responsible for the river and its management. Considering how much water the river embodies, the River may be the largest tributary of the Ohio River – it supplies a lot of water than its counterpart.
Get ready to use the Highways in West Virginia, as it is the major route of transportation. The state’s public road accounts for over 37,300 miles (60,000 km). On the other hand, there are other means like the use of rivers, railroads, and airports for commercial transportation modes for West Virginia. Huntington, Charleston, Beckley, Morgantown, Parkersburg, Lewisburg, and Clarksburg have airports people employ for commercial air travel. They are affordable choices as the Federal Department of Transportation’s Essential Air Service Program has subsidized their amount. Only Huntington and Charleston are not subsidized. The cities of Huntington, Charleston, Wheeling, Beckley, Clarksburg, Morgantown, Fairmont, and Parkersburg have public transit systems for people who want to use the bus system.
A more fascinating characteristic in West Virginia is its seven Interstate Highways. I-64 is near Huntington as it begins at White Sulphur Springs close to the mountainous east, and closes at Kentucky towards the west. I-77 is near Bluefield as it begins at Virginia in the south. It crosses to Ohio from Parkersburg. The West Virginia Turnpike is a toll road in between I-64 and I-77. The same road extends as I-77 from Beckley to Princeton. The road was earlier constructed in 1952 as a two-lane road. Nevertheless, a rebuild in 1974 upgraded it to the Interstate standards. The previous construction has been completely modified into modern structure of Morgantown. The new rebuild runs to Maryland.
In Morgantown, the I-68 terminus meets the I-79. It continues to Pennsylvania and goes across the southern terminus in Charleston. I-70 has a short extension into West Virginia. Here, it crosses the northern panhandle via Wheeling. At the other end, I-470 runs through Wheeling – hence, Wheeling is one of the smallest cities that has an interstate bypass). I-81 similarly runs in West Virginia via the Eastern Panhandle and through Martinsburg.
There are supplementary roads for the interstates by the Appalachian Corridor system. This completes the four Corridors – Corridor D, G, L, and Q. Corridor D runs from the Ohio River as it carries US 50 and I-77. I-77 extends from Parkersburg to I-79 at Clarksburg. At Williamson, Corridor G carries US 119 as it runs across Charleston to the Kentucky border. Corridor L has US 19 which runs across the Turnpike at Beckley into I-79, the terminus near Sutton. It extends to create a shortcut of about 64 km for travelers going into Florida as it helps them to bypass Charleston’s. Corridor Q carries the US 460 as its trail goes into Mercer County, and into the Giles County’s state, Virginia while closing at Tazewell County.

SHIP A CAR is pretty straight forward. They're a little more expensive than other quotes out there. They assured me they would pick up and drop the car off at a certain place and time and actually followed through. Other car shipping services don't seem to be as reliable. The outside of the car was a bit dirty which is understandable since they shipped it cross-country, so we just got it washed. I would recommend people to use them.

I called Ship a Car, inc for a quote to ship a motorcycle from Central California to Southeastern Texas. Willie D. quickly responded to my RFQ with a decent bid with a 7 - 9 day transit time. We easily came to terms over the phone, a truck arrived the following day. Willie offered same day pickup but that didn't work for me. As it went, the bike was delivered in 4 days! Needless to say that I'm delighted with the company's service and efficiency. Willie D. kept in touch until I was satisfied. I should mention that Ship a Car, inc is a broker who contracts to shippers.

I first want to say that Ship A Car, Inc. did a fabulous job with shipping my 1977 Mercedes from Los Angeles to Georgia. I shipped the car covered and it arrived with no damage. Sam Ladin took my order and kept me informed at every step. My only complaint is with the trucking company, Z Trans, who accepted the dispatch. The company came a day later than the scheduled time to pickup the car and didn't call me to tell me they weren't coming. The day before the car was supposed to arrive, I phoned the driver and told him what time I would be at the location. Never heard back from him. He arrived early morning and was rude to my family and threatened to return the car to Los Angeles unless they were paid. The people who run this company speak little English so this adds to the difficulty in keeping in contact. So if Ship-A-Car tells you that Z Trans picked up their dispatch order, ask them to change it. I've informed them of this issue, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Bob and Raffael Thank you both so very much for your Superb service and professionalism. From booking to scheduling to pickup and delivery we give you an A+. We really appreciated the communication and updates on when you would arrive and deliver, and accommodated a nearby location as our street is very narrow. Thank you Bob for following up with me when you noticed the agency my daughter selected would disappoint her. You went above and beyond to help us and met our timeframe. Thank you again Sarah C.

I've been working with Ship A Car for years. Danny over there takes care of me well. He gets me a broker right away. The few times I've had issues with the carrier, he helped me take care of it. I've done several vehicles and everything went well. When I book, I call him up on his number. I text him the location, where it's being shipped to, where it's coming from, and the VIN number. He does a search, sends me a quote, tells me about what it should be, even before I even bid on the vehicle. He does a good job coming in with that radius and getting me someone right away.

Bob is fantistic, Contracted a car hauler (Road Runner) a month early. I called them day before ship date and they hadn't done anything. Called Bob and he had a hauler at pick up place in less then 24 hours. Hauling company was fantistic. Thanks Bob.

I was referred to Bob Moran through Triple 7 Movers and I was very impressed and pleased with the experience of shipping my vehicle. I contacted Bob approximately a month ago and he explained in detail how the process of shipping a vehicle would be. Bob was very professional and by all means honest with me about the shipping rates of a vehicle. Bob promised me when my vehicle would be picked up and delivered and as promised it happened. Bob and I frequently talked before it was time for my vehicle to be picked and he was always available to answer any questions or concerns I had. I most definitely recommend Ship-A-Car, Inc. Again thanks Bob for all you did to get my vehicle to it’s destination secured and on time.

The Ship A Car rep told me everything that I needed to know. Everything went as well as it could have. However, in-between times, I didn't get any updates. But as far as the information he gave me and what was done, it was spot on. The pickup was in Columbus, Ohio and the drop-off was in Frisco, Texas. The car got there a day earlier than expected, so that was a plus. I was happy about that. The driver was also great. He called and said he was about 40 minutes out. He dropped it off, signed the paperwork and received the money. I will recommend Ship A Car to anybody going that route.

An absolute pleasure to work with such a professional company! I was shipping my vehicle from California to Hawaii and was working with Rita who made the process virtually seamless. Working on different time zones was initially challenging, however, Rita made it her mission to get my car to Hawaii with as little hassle as possible. 10/10 recommend. Thank you!
