How freight moves in Arkansas
Freight in Arkansas runs on I-30, I-40, I-49, I-55, I-530 and I-555. Ocean and river cargo moves through Port of Little Rock and Port of West Memphis. The state's economy leans on poultry and agriculture, rice and soybeans, retail supplier logistics and steel and metals, and that is most of what moves on its roads.
Rules of the road
What shapes a move in Arkansas
- Seasonal conditions
Arkansas oversize permits are not valid when visibility is under 500 feet or during hard rain, freezing rain, sleet, snow or other hazardous conditions, and movement may be restricted when winds exceed 20 knots.
Spring brings the highest risk of severe thunderstorms and tornadoes in Arkansas, and winter ice storms can make I-40 and I-30 hazardous for trucks.
- If you are moving to the state
New residents have 60 calendar days after becoming Arkansas residents to register a vehicle, and a VIN verification by a law enforcement officer is required only for out-of-state titles that carry a brand such as salvage. Source ↗
Rules change. The specialist on your move checks the current ones for your exact route before anything is booked.
