Rules of the road
What shapes a move in California
- Seasonal conditions
Caltrans can impose chain controls on Sierra Nevada passes such as I-80 over Donner Summit, where trucks may be stopped at a chain check point and required to carry maximum chains, and permit loads can be barred from the summit.
Wildfires, high winds and winter storms can close mountain passes such as the Grapevine on I-5 and the Cajon Pass on I-15 on short notice.
Rules change. The specialist on your move checks the current ones for your exact route before anything is booked.
