📰 THE MOCKINGBIRD TIMES
Your Freight Intelligence Report — Where Champions Are Made
Thanksgiving waits for no one. Neither does your competition. Are you READY?
🔥 NOVEMBER REALITY: THE HOLIDAY FREIGHT PERFECT STORM
WAKE UP CALL, SHIPPERS!
HERE'S THE BRUTAL TRUTH:
Daylight hours SHRINKING daily (30+ minutes lost by month's end)
Drivers taking holiday time off (capacity VANISHING)
Thanksgiving travel creating highway gridlock
Black Friday deadlines looming LARGE
November 2025 is where logistics CHAMPIONS separate from casualties.
⚡ THE NOVEMBER CAPACITY SQUEEZE
DRY VAN UPDATE: Import volumes declining BUT holiday surge still hits hard. Fewer containers doesn't mean easier freight — it means CONCENTRATED demand.
REEFER REALITY: Thanksgiving feast freight + Christmas trees = reefer capacity CRISIS. Turkeys, hams, produce flooding the network NOW.
FLATBED FREEZE: Cold weather + tarping requirements = drivers fleeing to enclosed trailers. Open-deck capacity gets EXPENSIVE fast.
OVERSIZE NIGHTMARE: Daylight Savings ends November 2nd. Veterans Day restrictions November 11th. Thanksgiving shutdowns November 27th. Your OD freight windows just got CRUSHED.

🦃 THANKSGIVING WEEK SURVIVAL GUIDE
THE CHAMPION'S TIMELINE:
WEEK BEFORE (Nov 17-21):
Secure ALL Thanksgiving week capacity NOW
Confirm delivery windows with consignees
Verify carrier availability and security protocols
THANKSGIVING WEEK (Nov 24-28):
Drivers scarce, expect premium capacity needs
Black Friday (Nov 28) retail consignees SLAMMED
Plan arrivals for week before OR week after
WEEK AFTER (Dec 1-5):
Catch-up freight floods the market
December capacity crunch begins IMMEDIATELY
Late planners pay PREMIUM for leftover trucks
MOCKINGBIRD ADVANTAGE: We secured holiday capacity MONTHS ago through our Sureway and ATS partnership. While others panic, we DELIVER.
🚨 NOVEMBER FREIGHT INTELLIGENCE
DAYLIGHT SAVINGS IMPACT: November 2nd we "fall back" — OD freight loses 90+ minutes of movement time by month's end.
HOLIDAY RESTRICTIONS:
Veterans Day (Nov 11): Some permit offices CLOSED
Thanksgiving (Nov 27): Major movement restrictions
Black Friday (Nov 28): Retail locations CHAOS
DRIVER MIGRATION: Northern flatbed drivers heading SOUTH for winter. Your equipment moves just got COMPLICATED.
SECURITY ALERT: Peak season = peak cargo theft. Criminals KNOW capacity is tight and security gets SLOPPY.
🏆 CASE STUDY: THE SECURE THANKSGIVING DELIVERY
THE CHALLENGE: Major grocery chain needed 75 reefer loads of Thanksgiving turkeys delivered across 15 states during Thanksgiving week.
AMATEUR APPROACH: "We'll start looking for trucks in mid-November."
RESULT: No capacity, panic calls, some stores WITHOUT turkeys.
MOCKINGBIRD + SUREWAY/ATS APPROACH:
Capacity secured in SEPTEMBER through vetted network
Every carrier background-checked and insurance-verified
Real-time tracking for all 75 loads
Security protocols prevented ANY theft attempts
100% on-time delivery, ZERO security incidents
THE LESSON: Holiday heroes plan EARLY and partner with SECURE logistics experts.
