Winter Weather & Logistics

What you need to know 01/07/2024
Severe weather events are causing major disruptions across the U.S. Here’s a breakdown of the current challenges:
West Coast:
• Los Angeles Metro: Wind storms and forest fires have led to mandatory evacuations and highway closures, including the 10 Freeway westbound in Santa Monica near the coast. These conditions are impacting freight movement in and around the area.
Texas:
• Dallas-Fort Worth: An ice storm is expected Thursday into Friday, bringing dangerous road conditions to a region unaccustomed to icy weather. Expect widespread delays and challenges for freight moving through North Texas.
Northeast:
• Northwest Pennsylvania & Upstate New York: Over the past week, up to 5 feet of snow has blanketed parts of the region, leading to significant delays. Some drivers and carriers are avoiding this area altogether due to unsafe conditions.
