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:
In 2025, Columbus Day falls on Monday, October 13. The holiday shares this date with Indigenous Peoples' Day and Canadian Thanksgiving Day.

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.
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.
