How freight moves through Boise
Boise, the state capital and largest city, anchors the Treasure Valley, Idaho's most populous metro area, where I-84 links southwestern Idaho with Oregon to the west and Utah to the southeast. Freight trucks serve Boise on I-84, I-184 and US-20/26. Most of what ships from here comes from technology and semiconductor manufacturing, food processing, trucking and distribution and construction and building materials.
Rules of the road
What shapes a move in Idaho
- Seasonal conditions
ITD can post spring breakup load restrictions on state highways, limiting axle weights to 16,000, 14,000 or 12,000 lb, capping permitted width at 12 ft 6 in on affected two-lane roads, and holding trucks of 10,000 lb or more to 30 mph in critical areas.
When conditions are unsafe, ITD can require chains on commercial vehicles at Lookout Pass and Fourth of July Pass on I-90 and at Lolo Pass on US-12 (Idaho Code 49-948).
Rules change. The specialist on your move checks the current ones for your exact route before anything is booked.
