Put the information together
- Enter the intended movement date and check the current holiday schedule for every route state.
- Review daylight, rush-hour, weekend and escorted-movement restrictions, including periods before and after holidays.
- Recheck weather and road restrictions close to departure, and plan a suitable holding location if movement must stop.
What to confirm
A calendar date alone cannot establish permission to travel. Restrictions can depend on dimensions, escorts, location and permit-specific terms. Carry those conditions into scheduling rather than assuming a continuous drive.
Keep one current shipment record
- Record the final measurements and the person confirming them.
- Keep the proposed route and intended movement date with the load details.
- Recheck the plan when a material shipment detail changes.
