The days leading up to Thanksgiving can be incredibly challenging across the trucking and transportation landscape. To help you navigate this unique time period, we’re sharing a few best practices for carriers to reach optimal efficiency this holiday season: ??? Driver Availability: Enter driver events or expirations in your TMS to reflect accurate availability. ?? Pickup & Delivery Windows: Verify that load windows match shipper schedules. If shippers are closed for the holiday weekend, be sure this info is clear in your TMS. ?? Early planning and communication are critical to successful holiday operations. Have a safe, successful, and joyous Thanksgiving!
