As we prepare to set our clocks forward an hour on Sunday, March 9, 2025, Fetch Freight wants to ensure that our shippers and customers are ready for any potential impacts to their freight schedules. While the time change may seem like a small adjustment, its effects can ripple across the supply chain, influencing transit times, driver availability, and operational planning.
- Adjusted Delivery and Pickup Times – With daylight saving time, appointment schedules may shift, particularly for businesses operating across multiple time zones. Double-check that your carriers and warehouse partners are aligned on updated schedules to avoid any disruptions.
- HOS Compliance and Driver Rest Periods – Truck drivers must adhere to Hours of Service (HOS) regulations, and the time shift can affect logbook entries and rest breaks. Ensuring clear communication with carriers can help prevent delays related to scheduling adjustments.
- Technology and Tracking Updates – GPS tracking and automated scheduling systems may require minor adjustments to reflect the new time, ensuring accurate ETAs and shipment tracking.
At Fetch Freight, we proactively work with our carriers and logistics partners to minimize any daylight saving time disruptions. Our innovative technology-driven approach helps monitor schedules in real time, keeping your shipments on track. If you have concerns about specific loads or need scheduling adjustments, our team is ready to assist.
