What’s Ahead for January Freight? The New Year is here, but capacity challenges aren’t going anywhere—especially with upcoming events like:
- Orthodox Christmas (Jan 7th): Major disruptions as Chicago-based and Eastern European carriers take time off, with ripple effects across the week.
- ILA Strike Date (Jan 15th): Ongoing negotiations could lead to significant port disruptions if unresolved.
- Inauguration Day (Jan 20th): Expect a rush to move freight before potential new tariffs.
- Lunar New Year (Jan 29th): A surge of imports before a two-week production shutdown in Asia.
Plus, a polar vortex is set to impact the Midwest and southern states, creating additional challenges for freight movement.
