Whether it’s an infrastructure failure, an accident that shuts down traffic, or a Taylor Swift concert, changes to traffic patterns and volumes can interrupt your freight shipping plans in a big way.

Every state has different regulations for the maximum gross vehicle weight (total weight of the loaded truck and trailer) allowed on their roads. These weight regulations are based on the state’s infrastructure and what the roads can safely support.
The average truck driver doesn't need special security clearances in their day-to-day — but what if you’re interested in hauling loads that will take you to places most civilians can’t tread?
A Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC, also called a TWIC card) and Transport Security Administration (TSA) certification are among the most sought-after security clearances for drivers looking to diversify the freight types they can haul and places they can go.

It’s a transportation tale as old as time: You know your freight needs a dry, secure place to hang out before it heads to its ultimate destination, but you’re at a bit of a loss when it comes to sending out requests for quotation (RFQs) for your warehouse project.

Let’s come right out and say it: Nobody wants to be in a position to need to ship same-day.

On Monday, April 8, 2024, a total solar eclipse will cross North America, passing over Mexico, the United States, and Canada.
The path of totality — areas that will experience a total eclipse of the sun — will cross into the U.S. in southern Texas and travel through 12 additional states before entering Canada.
As a huge swath of the country braces for a major surge in tourist traffic, domestic shippers are wondering how the eclipse will affect their freight. Some states in the path of the totality have implemented eclipse-related travel restrictions.

Whether a port closes due to a worker strike, extreme weather, or an infrastructure failure, it represents a major hiccup in the supply chains of shippers around the world.

Getting your freight to its destination safely and securely is a priority for all shippers. But there are a lot of options out there for protecting your freight in transit.
