Rules of the road
What shapes a move in Georgia
- Seasonal conditions
The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30, and storms can disrupt freight at the coastal ports of Savannah and Brunswick and along I-95.
Permit loads may not move in fog, snow or icy conditions, and loads wider than 12 feet may not travel when visibility is under 600 feet or ground wind exceeds 25 miles per hour.
Rules change. The specialist on your move checks the current ones for your exact route before anything is booked.
