Why does re**er capacity get tighter in this time of the year?
As reported by USDA and DAT, fresh produce shipments increase significantly across key regions like California, Florida, and Texas during this time of year.
High-volume commodities such as tomatoes, strawberries, lettuce, and avocados require refrigerated transport, driving higher demand for re**er equipment.
As capacity shifts toward these lanes, availability tightens and competition increases.
Understanding these seasonal patterns is key to planning ahead and maintaining efficient operations.
