I-79 links Morgantown, Clarksburg and Charleston, I-68 heads east from Morgantown, I-70 crosses the Northern Panhandle at Wheeling, and I-81 serves Martinsburg.
Seasons and weather
Snow and ice on steep grades slow winter shipments, and narrow hollow roads can be hard for a large carrier to reach. Fall and late spring are the easiest seasons.
