🍂 Fall weather means changing driving conditions

September marks the transition into fall. As temperatures begin to drop and daylight decreases, couriers should prepare for:

• Earlier sunsets

• Cooler nighttime temperatures

• Increased rain

• Wet roads

• Reduced visibility

• School-zone traffic

• Increased pedestrian activity

• Changing road conditions

  Slow down. Stay alert. Give yourself extra time. A delivery is never more important than getting there safely.

  🎒 Back-to-school traffic affects delivery routes

  September means school is back in session for many communities.

  That can mean:

  🚸 More school buses
  🚗 More morning and afternoon traffic
  👨‍👩‍👧 More vehicles on neighborhood streets
  🚶 More pedestrians and children near roadways
  ⏰ Longer travel times during peak hours

  For couriers, route planning becomes especially important.
