🚨 Hurricane Helene is picking up steam and is expected to hit Florida on Thursday as a massive Category 4 hurricane. The storm could bring 20-foot storm surges along the coast and pack winds of 130+ mph. Georgia, the Carolinas, and much of the Southeast are also preparing for serious impacts like flooding and power outages. Evacuations are already happening across Florida, and people are being urged to wrap up their prep ASAP. 💡 Why It Matters: For the transportation and logistics industry, hurricanes like Helene cause major disruptions—flights grounded, trucking routes blocked, and ports shut down. Add in power outages and communication blackouts, and it’s a recipe for chaos across supply chains. 🔥 Hot Take: These extreme weather events are only getting worse. It’s time for logistics companies to prioritize disaster preparedness and build resilient systems. Staying agile is the name of the game. Stay safe, everyone! #HurricaneHelene #Logistics #SupplyChain Read more at CNN: https://lnkd.in/eZJ__BKd

Although Hurricane Francine has passed over Louisiana, power outages and damage to local infrastructure have disrupted the movement of goods across the state. What's happening? ⏱️ Delays are expected for both inbound and outbound shipments as the state recovers from the damage. 📦 Pickup and delivery services are being coordinated in New Orleans, Lafayette, and Los Angeles. However, LA markets are expected to be affected for the rest of the week due to local restrictions and weather conditions.

As Hurricane Helene has now passed through Florida and the Southeast, Traffic Tech has been actively monitoring its aftermath on key logistics and transportation hubs. While Florida’s ports avoided major damage, temporary closures and delays during the storm affected freight movement. Flooding and road closures in inland areas, especially in Georgia and the Carolinas, caused significant disruptions to transportation routes.   David Montgomery, Vice President North America, Cross Border, located in Traffic Tech’s Tampa office, shares:   “Throughout the weekend, the Tampa office worked diligently to support and accommodate new logistics requirements as Helene passed through FL, GA, and NC. Our customers had logistics plans shift as damage from the storm, closed roads, and inaccessible areas developed as the storm made landfall. We kept in contact with our customers and assisted in any way we could.”   Our team remains committed to minimizing disruption for our clients as recovery efforts continue, providing ongoing support and updates as needed. #TrafficTech #GlobalLogistics #HurricaneHelene #SupplyChain #Transportation

With interstate closures, out-of-service rail lines and nearly 600 roads closed or impassable in the wake of Hurricane Helene, moving goods into and out of affected regions remains challenging. While the initial shock was severe — with the volume of shipments declining as much as 34% in Florida and Georgia on a week-over-week basis — we're starting to see recovery. FourKites data shows that shipments destined for Florida, Georgia and South Carolina plummeted more than 25% on a week-over-week basis in the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Helene. By Tuesday, September 29, shipment volumes had largely recovered for the majority of states in the storm's path — with Florida seeing a 20% week-over-week increase. FourKites will continue to track the impact of tropical storms and hurricanes on global supply chain operations — make sure to follow and stay tuned for further updates. #data #HurricaneHelene #Florida #supplychain

The Impact of Hurricanes on the Trucking Industry: A Double-Edged Sword With the recent hurricane in Florida, it's essential to understand how severe weather affects the trucking industry. On one hand, hurricanes disrupt operations by damaging roads, causing delays, and endangering drivers. Deliveries are delayed, fuel costs rise due to detours, and equipment can face damage, leading to increased operational costs for carriers. On the other hand, these events often create an urgent demand for relief supplies, fuel, and construction materials, increasing freight opportunities. Many truckers find themselves on the frontlines, helping rebuild affected areas. For carriers, it’s about balancing the risks and opportunities. While safety always comes first, those who can navigate the challenges often find new markets and partnerships through disaster relief efforts. #Trucking #Logistics #HurricaneImpact #Florida
