How freight moves in Vermont
Freight in Vermont runs on I-89, I-91, I-93 and I-189. The state's economy leans on dairy farming, maple syrup and specialty foods, tourism and four-season recreation, advanced manufacturing, including electronics and semiconductors and forest products and granite quarrying, and that is most of what moves on its roads.
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.
