Rules of the road
What shapes a move in Illinois
- Seasonal conditions
Some county highway departments, such as Winnebago County in northern Illinois, post seasonal weight limits on county roads during the late-winter and spring thaw, typically for four to six weeks.
IDOT permit moves may not be made when the highway is covered with snow or ice, when visibility is unduly impaired by rain, snow or fog, or whenever the Illinois State Police consider travel unsafe.
Rules change. The specialist on your move checks the current ones for your exact route before anything is booked.
