Prepare for increased congestion during the North America Summer Holiday Peak (late June-early September) and Back to School demand peak (late July-September), necessitating earlier bookings and flexible delivery windows. Additionally, plan for potential winter storm disruptions (December-March) by allowing extra time for transit and securing capacity in advance to mitigate delays.
