A strategic look at how Windy Expedite manages regional disruptions caused by severe winter weather. Highlighting the recent FMCSA 40-state winter weather waiver, this post demonstrates our ability to maintain service continuity during extreme weather events.
Content excerpt: In early February 2026, severe ice storms and extreme cold have tested the resilience of North American freight corridors. In response, the FMCSA has issued a Regional Emergency Declaration, extending Hours-of-Service (HOS) relief across 40 states to support the movement of critical supplies. At Windy Expedite, our operational strategy during such periods is built on a proactive rather than reactive framework. While HOS waivers provide flexibility, our focus remains on the safe execution of every mile. By leveraging real-time weather analytics and regional bulletins, we adjust routes before our vehicles encounter freezing conditions. This ensures that even during “weather-wildcard” months, our expedited shipments maintain their schedule without compromising safety standards.
