Why CDL driveaway works differently in Connecticut
Connecticut's freight moves along the I-95 coastal corridor between New York and Boston and I-84/I-91 inland to Hartford and Springfield. Truck restrictions apply on the Merritt/Wilbur Cross Parkway (parkways only).
Insurance and finance (Hartford), aerospace (Pratt & Whitney), defense (Electric Boat, Sikorsky), and I-95 distribution drive Connecticut commercial truck demand.

- Casino & hospitality (eastern CT)
Winter storms and I-95 congestion around Bridgeport and New Haven regularly extend transit times December-March.
CTDOT issues oversize permits through its Special Hauling Permit Unit; travel restrictions apply during weekday rush hours on I-95 and I-84.
I-95 (New Haven-Bridgeport-Stamford) is chronically congested; dispatch often stages overnight in Milford or New Haven to avoid morning rush.
Common lanes include NYC-Boston through-traffic, Hartford-region fleet moves, Groton/New London defense-contractor deliveries, and Bradley (BDL) air-freight-connected transport.
