Checked facts
Yard and base
IAA lists a Dayton branch. The plan's auction page names that operator and no other. The yard releases the car before a carrier loads it. 31 CFR lists Wright-Patterson Air Force Base at Dayton, Ohio. The plan's Wright-Patterson row leaves the host city blank, so this note does not guess which gate sits inside the city limits. Follow the base visitor process for an on-base car. Pay and entitlement questions belong on the military shipping page.
The one lane
The only directed pair is Los Angeles to Dayton. There is no outbound pair. The signal is small, so it is a listed lane, not a volume count. Census ACS 2024 migration for Ohio is largest with Florida in both directions, then Michigan and Kentucky on the way in. Those are state totals. Registration is on the Ohio page.
Snow emergencies
ODOT points to OHGO for live conditions and says snow-emergency levels come from the local sheriff. Check the county level on the morning of pickup. If the address is a residential street the trailer cannot enter, set a meeting point that is not a base gate unless the installation has approved it.
