Rules of the road
What shapes a move in West Virginia
- Seasonal conditions
Mountain terrain and winter snow and ice affect interstate routes such as I-64, I-77 and I-79, and the permit office may reroute, deny or add time limits for loads that a route cannot safely carry.
Rules change. The specialist on your move checks the current ones for your exact route before anything is booked.
