Winter is Coming: Preparing for the Expected and Unexpected

Unfortunately, we don’t have a crystal ball to predict when, where, or how winter weather will impact us (or freight) this season. However, there are ways to prepare for the unexpected.

Severe weather disruptions can lead to significant delays and costs for the trucking industry, ultimately affecting the entire domestic supply chain. By proactively addressing potential supply chain issues, companies can lower operational costs, protect their reputation, and ensure timely delivery of products and services to their customers.

Staying informed about upcoming winter storms and road conditions is crucial for preparing for any freight delays. In addition, shippers should communicate with their providers about strategies to navigate the unpredictability of winter weather. While winter conditions are anticipated, the timing and duration of storms can be quite unpredictable.
