As May ramps up, the transportation marketplace continues to change. This is seen most prevalently in the southern U.S. where produce markets start to soak up capacity. With this realization, truck drivers from around the nation flock to these areas and the heightened earning potential they offer. Construction season also picks up in May, tightening open-deck capacity across the board. This makes providing ample lead time to your carriers more important than ever. It's safe to say May will be an interesting month as it always is. In fact, if you don't plan for DOT blitz week, your business could run into some prolonged issues. In this episode of Beyond The Road, Josh discusses everything you need to know about the trucking industry during May, offering some planning tips for companies like yours to use during the final month of spring. Topics Covered in this Video:Dry Van Market Changes in MayOpen-Deck Market Changes in MayOverall Cargo Volume UpdateFrost Law UpdateDOT Blitz Week 2023Memorial Day: How to Plan for ItTips for Logistics ManagersCheck out these pieces of related content:The Trucking Industry in May 2023: What You Should KnowDOT  Week 2023: What You Should Know About Blitz Week This MayWhat You Need to Know About Seasonal Load Restrictions This SpringVisit the Learning HubConnect with ATS on. . .
