Rules of the road
What shapes a move in Iowa
- Seasonal conditions
Iowa's state highways are not subject to seasonal weight restrictions, but counties post low-volume roads with spring weight limits during the thaw, so heavy trucks should check county postings before leaving state routes.
Iowa permit moves may be made only when roads are clear of ice and snow and visibility is at least one-quarter mile.
Rules change. The specialist on your move checks the current ones for your exact route before anything is booked.
