Rules of the road
What shapes a move in Oregon
- Seasonal conditions
In ODOT District 1 in northwest Oregon, oversize loads follow separate summer hours (Memorial Day to Labor Day) and winter hours (Labor Day to Memorial Day), and no overwidth loads move on summer weekends.
Oregon says oversize travel depends on weather and road conditions at the time of movement, and carriers that move in hazardous weather can face civil penalties.
Winter snow, ice and chain requirements affect mountain passes such as the Siskiyou Summit on I-5 and the Blue Mountains on I-84.
Rules change. The specialist on your move checks the current ones for your exact route before anything is booked.
