Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day (MLK Day) is a federal holiday, so for some shippers moving oversize/overweight (OSOW) freight, it may not be business as usual.
Key Takeaways:
Heavy haul shipments are some of the most complex loads to move. Most will require permitting and route planning, a specialized trailer, a heavy haul truck, an experienced driver, and a thorough plan for safe loading, transport, and unloading.
As someone who's responsible for shipping and logistics, you're well-versed in the many factors that can impact your ability to transport goods from point A to point B.
For example, during the winter months, blizzards and ice in the northernmost states may impact your shipping schedule.
January is seen as the “reset” month for the trucking industry. After the fast-paced holiday shipping season, freight activity slows down, giving carriers and shippers time to recalibrate.
As summer winds down and fall looms on the horizon, August brings a complex blend of freight market dynamics.
Sending valuable freight across the country is a stressful experience for shippers — and that’s before factoring in the extra time, effort, and cost to obtain over-dimensional (OD) freight permits.
Roads and bridges are engineered to support a specific amount of weight. Exceeding this weight limit can have disastrous consequences, including bridge collapse or permanent road damage.
Whenever you ship heavy haul cargo, safety is a significant concern. Keeping your freight secure, your reputation clean and, most importantly, the motoring public safe as cargo transits from A to B, takes expertise, planning and robust protocols.
