Peak season comes nearer with Black Friday and Christmas are you already overwhelmed with orders? or did you still not recover from the last year’s fatigue? Are you ready to live the same nightmare this year, keep you busy for 2 months, with logistics issues, unhappy customers waiting too long for their orders and getting nervous because Christmas is coming?

Holiday week! Already seeing a spike in spot opportunities and feeling capacity get tighter in certain markets - outbound West continues to take the #1 spot. Shippers and receivers will start to cut back on hours starting Wednesday and we typically see a skeleton crew on Friday give the tryptophan hangovers🦃. ‼️Reminder, this is the shortest peak season in over five years. We do expect capacity challenges from Thanksgiving to Christmas, particularly for final mile shipments. You’ve probably seen holiday promotions starting even earlier this year to combat some of these capacity challenges. Some of my favorite e-commerce brands started Black Friday deals a week ago (which I don't hate😏). Even if there isn’t a huge surge in demand, disruption will still occur due to the condensed shipping days and timing. We're staffing up with extra support across all of our offices and centralized operations teams. Holiday season brings a lot of clarity to shippers - who in your network is ready to step up when others aren't?! 🎖️ #FreightBrokerage #Logistics #Transportation #PeakSeason #HolidayShipping Nolan Transportation Group (NTG)
