Hmmm...I've never heard of Frost Laws here. But the temps are warming, the snow is almost gone, and flood alerts are pretty widespread, so, who knows...

But I did find this:
Most Michigan drivers can testify that the harsh weather this winter has certainly impacted many roads. Pothole dodging is a daily experience for many drivers throughout the state now that the weather has started to warm and snow cover on roads has receded.
Frost laws, otherwise known as seasonal restrictions on traffic weight limits and speeds on roads subject to thaw weakening, is one method that the state and local jurisdictions have at their disposal to protect local roads during the annual spring cycle of freezing and thawing.
The County Road Association of Michigan provides an online update of the current weight restrictions for every Michigan county. For up-to-date information on reduced-weight restrictions on state roads, visit Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) for their latest online bulletins or call their 24-hour phone line at 800-787-8960. Truckers can consult an online map of Michigan to determine routes that are legal for their size vehicle during the annual seasonal weight restriction period.

This should explain it and gives a hotline if you need it.

Basically, if you stick to the interstates and us highways, there shouldn't be an issue.

Because they never have any road damage from plows and snow resulting in potholes.
Yeah, right. Been on I69 recently, Highway Department? -
Got unloaded in Houston, then sent to go to Dallas for a water load going to Alabama. I can officially complain it's hot out for this northerner.

Just wait a day or so temps gonna drop 20-30 degrees
Wickedfire77 Thanks this. -
My water appt time was for 1am tonight. I checked in and said. " sorry I'm late"
i was in a door and loaded in an hour . Awesome! Alabama drop tomorrow, and we see where to go from there. -
Except for the occasional overweight or imbalanced load, I loved doing Ice Mountain up in Stanwood. I don't think I ever sat in a door very long.Last edited: Mar 17, 2015
Wickedfire77 Thanks this. -
We have a contract with nestle water, so it's usually drop/hook in Stanwood , but when I do get a door, they are pretty quick.
After I drop at the DC in AL, I grab a steelCase shuttle up to kentwood. Bad thing about it, it says ready at 11pm tomorrow. Hope it's ready sooner.
