Rules of the road
What shapes a move in Vermont
- Seasonal conditions
Towns post weight limits on gravel and other town roads during spring mud season, and a Vermont overweight permit is not valid on any road or bridge posted for a lower limit than the vehicle's gross weight.
Heavy snow and ice are common from late fall through early spring and can slow I-89, I-91 and mountain roads.
Rules change. The specialist on your move checks the current ones for your exact route before anything is booked.
