The route
Most carriers follow I-5 north through the Central Valley, past Redding and Mount Shasta and over the Siskiyou Pass to Medford, Eugene, Salem and Portland. Los Angeles to Portland is 975 miles.
Bend and Central Oregon deliveries come up US-97 from Weed, California, or cross the Cascades from the Willamette Valley, and take longer in winter. Bend adds about $75 for the distance from the main carrier routes.
When to book
Summer is the busiest season: Los Angeles to Portland is about $1,415 for a July pickup and $1,320 in February. From November through March, snow on the Siskiyou Pass can hold a truck for a day.
Good to know
If the car will be registered in the Portland area or around Medford, it will need an Oregon DEQ emissions test. Cars registered elsewhere in Oregon don't.
