Key Takeaways:
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.
As February 2026 approaches, the trucking industry enters a dynamic period characterized by seasonal trends, regional challenges, and opportunities for optimization.
If you live in an area with cold winters, you undoubtedly know a thing or two about protecting yourself and your property from those seriously frigid temperatures.

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.
