Beat the Thaw: Navigating Frost Law Restrictions in Heavy Haul Logistics

The final week of February represents a critical window for the construction and infrastructure industries. As winter begins to fade, a phenomenon known as the “spring thaw” transforms solid, frozen ground into a saturated, unstable base. To protect road integrity during this vulnerable period, many states and provinces implement Frost Law Restrictions. These seasonal weight limits can reduce allowable axle weights by up to 35%, often turning a standard heavy haul into a logistical nightmare of rerouting and permit denials. Understanding the Impact of the
