How freight moves in Kansas
Freight in Kansas runs on I-70, I-35, I-135, I-435, I-235 and I-635. The state's economy leans on agriculture (wheat, corn, sorghum, cattle), beef packing and meat processing, aircraft and aerospace manufacturing and oil, natural gas and wind energy, and that is most of what moves on its roads.
Rules of the road
What shapes a move in Kansas
- Seasonal conditions
Kansas permit loads may not be moved when visibility is under one-half mile, in moderate to heavy rain, sleet, snow, fog or smoke, or when the road surface is slippery from ice, packed snow or rain.
- If you are moving to the state
Kansas asks new residents to title and register a vehicle once it has been in the state for 90 days, a vehicle with an out-of-state title needs a Kansas VIN inspection (form MVE-1) first, and Kansas has no safety or emissions inspection program. Source ↗
Rules change. The specialist on your move checks the current ones for your exact route before anything is booked.
