As July rolls in and fireworks light up the sky, Americans across the country gear up for one of the most celebrated holidays of the year — the Fourth of July. This day is more than just a celebration of independence; it also marks one of the busiest times in the logistics and transportation industry. Behind the scenes of every BBQ, beach day and firework show is strategic coordination, timely execution and seamless collaboration between 3PLs, like Corporate Traffic, suppliers and carriers.
At CT, we play a crucial role in making the Fourth of July happen. From food and beverages to holiday decor, our team ensures that the products powering these summer celebrations arrive on time and in perfect condition.
Take food – the centerpiece of nearly every July 4th gathering. Independence Day is the top grilling holiday in the U.S., with over 150 million hot dogs consumed on the 4th. Transporting perishables like meats and produce demands careful temperature control – a shipping mode where Corporate Traffic excels.
Let’s not forget beer, another staple of the holiday weekend. Americans drink an estimated 68 million cases of beer on July 4th, requiring around 8,618 shipping containers to keep coolers stocked. For example, our partnership with beer companies involves orchestrating hundreds of deliveries to locations across the United States during a limited window when interest is at its peak. Handling this volume during a concentrated time frame involves anticipating surges, optimizing routes and maintaining tight delivery schedules.
At Corporate Traffic Logistics, we understand the importance of preparation and precision during this peak season. Our asset-based transportation solutions ensure your goods move seamlessly from port to door, no matter how high the demand is. Whether it’s food, flags or fireworks, we help businesses stay ahead with strategic planning, real-time tracking and dedicated service.
We’re proud to be part of the team that keeps America moving — not just on July 4th, but every day of the year. On this Independence Day, as we celebrate the red, white and blue, we also celebrate our team who helps to bring it all together!
Happy Fourth of July from all of us at Corporate Traffic Logistics!
