Furthermore, we’re just a few weeks away from the full release of our 2023 Beer Industry Production Survey data along with the May/June issue of The New Brewer magazine…

 

(Reminder, as it’s asked every year – these lists are based on production for the previous calendar year.)

Enforcement officials in the US, Mexico, and Canada will be out en masse conducting 37-point inspections on vehicles. This annual event should be on breweries’ radars as it can lead to shipping disruption and spot rate volatility.

 

What can a brewery expect during these 72 hours and in the week leading up to DOT Week? Although many carriers will operate as usual, some will opt out, so capacity will probably be lowered, therefore making spot rates more expensive. Delays can also be expected.

 

To find out more, refer to this informative page and the CVSA’s press release.
