Shipping in Pullman

What to know about moving a car in Pullman.

Pullman is the main town of the Pullman micropolitan area in Whitman County. About 32,900 people live here, according to the Census Bureau's 2023 estimate.

Pullman is not on an interstate. The closest is I-90, about 59 miles away in a straight line, and US-195 is the main highway through town. Because of that, pickups here usually take a little more planning than in cities on a main truck route. Washington State University brings student moves at the start and end of each term.

Snow and road salt are part of winter here, which is one reason some owners choose enclosed transport from December through March.

Seattle, the largest city in Washington, is about 251 miles west in a straight line. The nearest other places with guides on this site are Moscow (8 mi), Spokane Valley (64 mi), and Spokane (66 mi). The closest major out-of-state market is Portland, OR, about 275 miles away.

Pickup & delivery

Local considerations for Pullman.

Campus timing

Demand around Washington State University peaks in late summer and at the end of the spring term. Book early if you're moving at those times, and check whether campus lots allow a carrier.

Winter prep

Winter storms can delay pickups. Rinse off road salt before the inspection so the condition report is accurate, and make sure the battery is strong.

Off the interstate

With I-90 about 59 miles away, some carriers will ask to meet closer to the highway or along US-195. Door-to-door pickup is still the default whenever the truck can reach you.
