Did you know that in French, a potato is called "une pomme de terre" (literally an earth apple). We didn't. Just Googled it.
Apples and potatoes are leading the fall freight surge. Are you ready to harvest the opportunities?🍎🥔 September kicks off a busy harvest season with apples in the Pacific Northwest and potatoes in the Midwest. How will you stay ahead? 🥔 Brokers, expect limited capacity in Idaho, Washington, and Michigan for reefer freight. 🍎 Carriers, now’s the time to check your contracts for profitable produce-heavy lanes. #SupplyChain #FallHarvest #Apples #Potatoes

Anyone know who holds the crown as the “Carrot Capital” of the U.S.?🥕🤔

Unlike cherries, factoring rates as low as 1% are always in season.
When produce season hits, we all feel it. 🍓🌽 Strawberries in California, sweet onions in Georgia - harvests like these bring a surge of freight that reshapes the entire market. Why does a harvest in one region cause rate spikes across the country? 🧗 Volume climbs 🚚 Reefer demand climbs 💸 Acute rate spikes 🔥 Capacity tightens And not just where crops grow, but everywhere freight flows. When fresh produce starts moving, it doesn’t just feed the country, it fuels a ripple effect across the entire freight industry. Here’s where many of those ripples originate.📍 #ProduceSeason #ReeferDemand #FreightTrends #SupplyChain

Most of your RFP lanes aren't moving freight. They're just ghost lanes. Chris Caplice of @MIT and @datfreightteam explains how up to 60 percent of contracted lanes never move a single load. These ghost lanes waste time, damage trust, and skew your freight data, especially for companies with high transportation costs like paper manufacturers. 👉 This episode unpacks where traditional RFPs go wrong and what shippers and brokers can do to build a more accurate and efficient network: lnkd.in/eMzNEt6c

Every player in freight brings something unique to the table. The real challenge is figuring out how to fit those pieces together. Chris Caplice, Chief Scientist at @datfreightteam and Executive Director at @MIT’s FreightLab, explains how shippers, brokers, and carriers all operate differently, making freight a constant balancing act. With tools like DAT One, carriers now have better visibility and easier access to the market, but it's still too early to know if that leads to lasting stability. Watch the full episode to hear more insights from Chris: everythingislogistics.com/wh…

Had an old co-driver years ago that did team runs from Florida to Boston and back hauling flowers. Not bad work if you can find it.
Can you guess which U.S. city is the biggest hub for flower shipments? 💐
