You don’t have time to troubleshoot supply chain slowdowns day in and day out — your company has goods to move, customer commitments to meet, and bottom lines to maintain.
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.

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.


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.

November is a bridge between seasons — and an on-ramp to holiday shipping pressures. For shippers, it’s a month of tight capacity, shifting demand, and scheduling complexity.
Long strips of metal, including steel, aluminum and fiber optic cable, are often wrapped around a coil or spool for shipping. Coiling this type of material saves space and keeps it manageable during transportation and storage.
It’s frustrating when your freight rates change — especially on short notice. Freight transportation isn’t your company’s only expense, but the more you pay these bills the more you realize how volatile they are. They might even be your most unpredictable expense each period.
