🚨 4PM LOCKDOWN: COMMERCIAL VEHICLE RESTRICTIONS HIT I-84 & SOUTHERN CORRIDORS 🚨
Beginning at 4:00 PM TODAY (2/22) major restrictions go into effect:
❌ ALL empty commercial vehicles are BANNED
❌ ALL tandem tractor trailers are BANNED
📍 Applies to I-84 and ALL roads south of I-84
📍 Includes ALL Thruway system roads
For the trucks still allowed to roll:
⚠️ All other commercial vehicles will be restricted to the RIGHT LANE ONLY
📍 Orange County
📍 Rockland County
📍 Westchester County
These restrictions remain in place until conditions improve.
Translation?
High winds + winter conditions + light trailers = rollover territory.
Empty boxes and tandems become kites real quick when Mother Nature decides to test your steering wheel.
If you’re dispatching loads into this zone:
Plan now.
Stage early.
Don’t gamble on “maybe I’ll beat it.”
If you’re a driver:
Secure it.
Slow it down.
Know the restriction line before you cross it.
Weather doesn’t negotiate.
And tickets for violating emergency travel bans aren’t cheap.
