Rules of the road
What shapes a move in Massachusetts
- Seasonal conditions
During major winter storms MassDOT has banned box trucks, tractor-trailers, tandems and special permit trucks from the interstate highways, as it did from noon Sunday to noon Monday in the January 2026 storm, with food, fuel and medical deliveries exempt.
Rules change. The specialist on your move checks the current ones for your exact route before anything is booked.

Yes. Drayage and transload from Port of Boston and Port of New Bedford are coordinated with carriers that have terminal access and chassis available.
