Monitor Peak Season Trends to Avoid Premium Rates
Shipping during peak seasons like holidays or year-end can incur premium rates and capacity shortages. Analyzing past shipment trends helps identify high-cost periods and allows proactive planning. Businesses can adjust delivery timelines, stock up in advance, or shift to alternative carriers. TMS data reveals seasonal cost spikes and supports smarter load scheduling. Avoiding peak-period surcharges saves significantly on shipping, improves service continuity, and makes the logistics process more predictable during critical times.
