Rules of the road
What shapes a move in Indiana
- Seasonal conditions
Several Indiana counties, including Porter and Starke, adopt frost law ordinances that limit gross vehicle weight on county roads during the spring thaw, and the Starke County ordinance excludes state and federal highways.
Indiana permit loads may not operate in hazardous weather, road or traffic conditions, when visibility is under 500 ft, or when wind speed exceeds 25 mph.
Rules change. The specialist on your move checks the current ones for your exact route before anything is booked.
