December brings more than festive lights, it brings congestion at U.S. ports. Limited holiday hours, restricted container pulls, and rising truckload and parcel rates are creating stress across the supply chain. Here’s what’s happening and how DIZPOT keeps your goods moving.

**Market Context**

- **Holiday Crunch at Ports:** Reduced operating hours and seasonal surcharges are slowing container movement.
- **Congestion & Dwell Time:** Expect longer dwell times as carriers and drayage providers navigate holiday schedules. While some U.S. ports are starting to regain a normal flow of operations, holiday closures still cause delays.
