Forecasting Your Freight Costs: Know When to Ship and Save 💰 Imagine navigating the unpredictable world of logistics like a savvy sailor reading the sea. You're no longer at the mercy of the waves, you rule the ocean. Here's your compass: Mellow Mondays & Tranquil Tuesdays: These days - preferably in the afternoons - are your golden hours. Picture this: a fleet of drivers eager for a load, ready to give you the best rates. Wobbly Wednesdays & Thrifty Thursdays: Wednesday's a wild card; it's all up in the air. The fate of your freight costs depends on the distance. If your shipment is less than 800 miles and scheduled to unload by Friday, you're generally in safe waters. As the weekend rolls in, the more miles you clock, the better rates you get. Fearful Fridays: For shipments traveling within a 500-600 miles range, brace for higher expense. Holiday Havocs: Hang tight during major holidays. With drivers heading home, capacity shrinks. Remember also the restrictions and closures on oversized/overweight travel, affecting New Year's Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and 4th of July, not to mention the seasonal hurdles in March-May up North. Now that you have your map and compass, rule the seas of shipping! Drop a comment - how do you navigate your shipping schedules and costs?
