Winter Shipping Tips: How to Keep Your Freight Moving This Season
As temperatures drop and the snow begins to fall, the logistics industry faces one of its most challenging seasons. Winter weather can bring unexpected delays, hazardous road conditions, and supply chain disruptions — but with the right planning, your freight can still move efficiently and safely across North America.
At Lantrax Logistics, we specialize in keeping shipments on track year-round. Here’s how businesses can prepare for smooth, reliable winter shipping:
Plan Ahead and Book Early
Winter is peak season for freight demand. With holidays, limited truck capacity, and unpredictable weather, early planning is key. Booking your shipments in advance helps secure the best rates and ensures availability when you need it most.
Choose the Right Equipment
Certain commodities need special care in cold weather. Our reefer (temperature-controlled) options keep products safe from freezing, while flat decks and enclosed trailers are available for equipment and general freight.
Stay Informed with Real-Time Tracking
Unexpected delays can happen — but with Lantrax’s online tracking portal, you’ll have 24/7 visibility of your shipments. Get live updates, documents, and communication all in one place for peace of mind.
Partner with Experienced Carriers
Our trusted carrier network and in-house fleet through Posse Trucking know how to navigate winter’s challenges safely and efficiently. From mountain passes to icy highways, our experienced drivers ensure your freight arrives safely and on time.
Communication is Key
Stay connected with our team. Our live chat and dedicated customer service support ensure that no question goes unanswered — whether you’re shipping across BC or across the continent.
