Rules of the road
What shapes a move in New York
- Seasonal conditions
Lake-effect snow off Lake Erie and Lake Ontario can slow or close sections of I-90 and I-190 near Buffalo and of I-81 near Syracuse in winter.
Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30, and tropical storms and coastal flooding can disrupt freight in the New York City area and on Long Island.
Rules change. The specialist on your move checks the current ones for your exact route before anything is booked.
