As a newbie researching heavy haul travel times, I need your help to understand an important route planning issue please. I see that different states have different travel time restrictions for heavy haul loads. For example, some states allow travel only between sunrise and sunset and some states do not allow weekend travel and so on and so forth. During the time that travel is prohibited, does it mean that you absolutely cannot travel on any road in the state? Are there any exceptions? Is travel not allowed even on interstates? Assume that the load is a plain vanilla heavy haul load, not any kind of state or federal emergency load or anything.
As you can imagine, I ask this question from load planning perspective. If a load has to be taken through several states and each state has different travel time restriction, this means that load planning would get quite complicated very quickly as the number of states to be traversed increases. One factor that might mitigate the issue is if travel is allowed on certain routes during restricted travel times and that is what I am trying to understand by asking you the questions above. Your response is appreciated very much.
