Be ready · Spring into summer, moving north
Produce season.
Produce shipping starts in the southern states in spring and moves north with the harvest through summer. Reefer demand climbs, and the pull on trucks tightens capacity for other equipment too. It is a season to plan lanes and set rate floors on purpose.
