A three-day weekend sounds great—until you work in trucking, freight, logistics or supply chain.

In this episode of Do You Even Freight?, the crew digs into what a short holiday week actually does to freight: five days of expectations crammed into four days of operations, tighter shipping and receiving schedules, backed-up appointments, drivers sitting on loads, dispatchers scrambling and everyone trying to catch up at once.

Who gets hit hardest by a short freight week? Drivers? Carriers? Brokers? Dispatchers? Shippers and receivers? And if holiday schedules create tighter capacity and more headaches, should those loads come with higher rates or additional compensation?

We also introduce the newest—and possibly most judgmental—member of the DYEF crew: our WTF Wednesday raccoon. He doesn't have a name yet, but he's already got opinions. Lots of them.

Also in this episode:

• The Amazon Prime Air cargo plane crash in Miami and the ongoing investigation
• An Amazon truck crash in northern Indiana that scattered packages across I-80/94
• PHMSA's federal preemption decision involving California and what it could mean for the federal-versus-state transportation regulatory debate
• Kevin's Hot Load gets personal with the story of a truck stolen in Miami
• John's Red Flag of the Day
• Freight Dictionary and more from the crew

Do You Even Freight? covers trucking, freight, logistics, transportation and supply chain news with real industry perspectives, real opinions and zero corporate filter.
