We are already seeing the effects of retail season as autumnal activities begin and Halloween approaches. Soon, consumer spending will reach its peak during the holiday season in November and December.
Don’t let this holiday season overwhelm you this year. Bring on a partner with a plan. At Full Sail Logistics, we prepare for peak seasons, so you can finish 2024 on a high note.
Seasonal Surcharges:
As consumer spending increases, so does the demand for trucks and drivers. This means drivers will be able to increase their rates in accordance with the scarcity of drivers in a given area or the volume demands of a shipper.
Surcharges will be tacked on and the demand for spot rates will increase. But this doesn’t have to affect you so drastically. Partner with a forward-thinking logistics provider like Full Sail Logistics and we can provide seasonal pricing, tiered-pricing, and other temporary cost-adjustment plans. We’re just as flexible as you need us to be to finish the year strong.
Holiday Closures:
Who doesn’t love a day off?
As warehouses and carriers celebrate the holidays, we plan accordingly so this doesn’t disrupt your supply chain. Also, we have 24/7/365 after-hours staff, so you can enjoy your holidays with the peace of mind that your product is in good hands.
Fall Harvest Demands:
Autumn has arrived and seasonal produce with it. Some of our favorite foods are only possible with autumnal produce.
Apples, cranberries, pumpkins, squash, potatoes, and much more experience their true season in fall. While some of these can be enjoyed year round, the demand for them will be huge in their season as we all settle down for meals with loved ones.
We’ll meet those demands and make sure the country is well-fed with the best the season has to offer.
E-Commerce Dependency:
It is no secret that e-commerce has changed holiday shopping forever. With the ease of shipping gifts all across the globe, giving presents has never been easier.
While providers like FedEx and UPS grow busier, we can partner with other providers for parcel and LTL moves. If you have hot material to move, we excel at expedited moves, from sprinters and straight trucks to full dry vans and reefers. And we can move product to anyone you need, providing first, middle, and last mile delivery.
Don’t let the holiday season stress you out! Partner with FSL today, and let us help you conquer the holidays.
