Rules of the road
What shapes a move in Michigan
- Seasonal conditions
Spring frost laws: when MDOT imposes seasonal weight restrictions, axle loads on seasonal routes drop by 25 percent on rigid pavement and 35 percent on flexible pavement, vehicles of 10,000 lb or more are held to 35 mph on frost-restricted routes, and no overweight permits or permits for loads over 14 ft wide are issued.
Michigan allows combinations of up to 11 axles to exceed 80,000 lb gross weight when axle-load limits are met, so a load that is legal in Michigan can be overweight in neighboring states.
Rules change. The specialist on your move checks the current ones for your exact route before anything is booked.
