Rules of the road
What shapes a move in Alabama
- Seasonal conditions
The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30, and Gulf storms can disrupt freight around Mobile and along the I-10 and I-65 corridors.
Permitted oversize loads may not travel when visibility drops below 500 feet or when weather makes the roads hazardous, and must park at the first safe place until conditions improve.
Rules change. The specialist on your move checks the current ones for your exact route before anything is booked.
