How freight moves in New Mexico
Freight in New Mexico runs on I-10, I-25 and I-40. Its crossings at Santa Teresa connect it to Mexico. The state's economy leans on oil and gas production in the Permian and San Juan basins, federal research laboratories, military bases and aerospace testing, copper and potash mining and agriculture, including chile, pecans, dairy and cattle, and that is most of what moves on its roads.
Rules of the road
What shapes a move in New Mexico
- Seasonal conditions
For oversize loads, New Mexico treats snow, ice, fog, rain, dust, visibility under 1,000 feet and winds of 25 mph or more as inclement weather, and permitted oversize movement does not run in those conditions.
Higher stretches of I-25 near Raton Pass and of I-40 near the Continental Divide are exposed to winter snow and ice.
The summer monsoon season brings sudden thunderstorms, flash flooding and blowing dust, especially across southern New Mexico along I-10.
Rules change. The specialist on your move checks the current ones for your exact route before anything is booked.
