How freight moves through Vancouver
Vancouver sits across the Columbia River from Portland, Oregon, on I-5 and I-205, and the Port of Vancouver USA moves wheat, mineral and liquid bulks, vehicles and project cargo. Freight trucks serve Vancouver on I-5, I-205, SR-14 and SR-500. Most of what ships from here comes from port and bulk cargo, manufacturing, distribution and health care.
Rules of the road
What shapes a move in Washington
- Seasonal conditions
From November 1 to April 1, vehicles over 10,000 lb must carry tire chains on listed Cascade routes, including I-90 between North Bend and Ellensburg, US-2 over Stevens Pass and US-12 over White Pass, and must chain up wherever 'chains required' signs are posted, with specific chain rules for automobile transporters.
WSDOT and the State Patrol can bar permitted oversize vehicles from chain and traction control areas, and signs such as 'traction advisory, oversized vehicles prohibited' mean those loads must not enter.
Rules change. The specialist on your move checks the current ones for your exact route before anything is booked.
