How freight moves in Colorado
Freight in Colorado runs on I-25, I-70, I-76 and I-225. The state's economy leans on oil and gas, aerospace and defense, agriculture and beef and mining and construction materials, and that is most of what moves on its roads.
Rules of the road
What shapes a move in Colorado
- Seasonal conditions
From September 1 through May 31, commercial vehicles on I-70 between Dotsero and Morrison must carry sufficient chains, and must chain up when the state chain law is in effect.
Oversize loads are barred from I-70 between Morrison and West Vail at set Friday, Saturday and Sunday times from December 1 to March 31 and from May 15 to September 15 unless they hold a special permit.
Rules change. The specialist on your move checks the current ones for your exact route before anything is booked.

What do you need to quote a load?
Origin and destination, what is moving, the weight and the pallet count or dimensions, the trailer type if you know it, and the date. With that a specialist replies with pricing and capacity.
