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.
Rules change. The specialist on your move checks the current ones for your exact route before anything is booked.
