It's Freight Friday!! 🎁 (was off last week due to our cross country move- officially a Midwesterner now!) ❄ The Most Wonderful Time of the Year ❄ As we inch closer to the holiday season, you can almost hear the jingle bells and see the twinkling lights start to pop up everywhere. But before we can get to the eggnog and gift wrapping, there's one big thing to think about—getting your products to the stores. With holiday shopping on the horizon, it's the perfect time to start thinking about how to move freight before the real rush begins. As someone who’s worked in logistics for years, trust me when I say that early prep is the key to keeping the holiday madness in check. Your loyal brand fans do not want to be the one who has to make a last-minute dash to the store because shipping delays made it hard for them to get your products! We’ve got thousands of products to get from point A to B, and it’s not just about getting them there—it’s about getting them there on time and in perfect condition. At FreezPak, we specialize in making that happen, whether it’s a truckload of fruit cake destined for a family holiday parties, trees and menorahs for brightening up the home, or frozen meats for all the festive gatherings. Let’s make sure your items are stocked on shelves so they can unwrap happiness with your best product this year, instead of wishing they could have. Have you started planning your holiday shipping yet? Let's connect and make it happen before the rush! #Logistics #SupplyChain #HolidaySeason #ShippingSmarter

This week, the Globe BSide newsletter described CargoB as, "if a BLUEbike and a wheelbarrow had a baby"... SPOT ON, and hilarious Emily Schario and Gia Orsino! It never ceased to amaze me that no one batted an eye when I'd roll our three girls around Boston on one stroller when they were an infant, rumble seated toddler and tag along on the kick board (thanks for making urban living and kid mobility a cinch UPPAbaby!!). But when I put all the kids in our Urban Arrow cargo bikes, it elicited all kinds of questions like, "did you build that?", "can that even fit in a bike lane", "how do you get up the Boston hills?", psssst, it's that sweet non-throttle electric assists!. There's a lot of ways you can think about electric cargo bike mobility and how it fits into the average person's life. I'm a fan of, "instead of pushing the stroller, what if you can just ride it?!" or "it's like a beach wagon, but better!". I get it, rethinking bike mobility and the possibilities in American cities is novel. CargoB is here to normalize others ways of getting ourselves and our goods around for short distance trips. Urban mobility doesn't have to be a struggle; it comes down to creating quality infrastructure and removing barriers to cargo bike access.

🎄✨ On the 8th Day of Christmas, my suitcase said to me… ✨🎄 "Please don’t squish the snacks!" 🧳🍫 Zip lock bags and lunch boxes might not sound like the most glamorous gifts, but when it comes to travel, practical gifts are truly underrated. These are the items we use again and again—the thoughtful essentials that make every trip smoother. I’ve always admired people who pack food in their suitcases. Maybe it’s to take a little taste of home on holiday, or to gift loved ones abroad with something they’ve missed (because who wouldn’t love Cadbury’s chocolate delivered straight from the UK? 🍫). For us, it’s about being prepared. Packing snacks and treats is a small effort that saves money, reduces stress, and guarantees we’ve got a festive pick-me-up when we need it most. From mince pies to mulled wine sachets, these little touches make the holiday feel special, no matter where we are. 🎁 Today’s essentials? Zip lock bags and lunch boxes! Practical, reusable, and perfect for travelers or anyone trying to pack a little extra holiday cheer. What’s the most unusual or thoughtful thing you’ve ever packed for a trip? I’d love to hear your stories! #12DaysOfChristmas #RebeccaRyellTravelCoaching #TravelPackingTips #PracticalGifts #ChristmasTravel #FamilyAdventures
