Default Busiest months?

Can anyone shed some light in regards to which months on average are the busiest and which are the slowest? Thank you

Just like oysters, months without R's are the busiest.

(Edited) Oh yeah, you mean cargo. Ah, I don't know but I imagine the xmas season.

On the Cargo side of the business, August thru Mid December are the busiest. After the 15th of December, if it ain't on the shelves yet, it isn't going to be. After the 15th, it's the brown boxers (FedEx, UPS) that continue to be busy, right up to Xmas.

Retailers are looking at the Xmas sales to extend into January with the rise in gift card sales. Not sure how that will affect shipping.

From turkey day til the 26th of Dec we're slammed in with full airplanes and schedules change alot. Weather can throw a big wrench in it. Last Christmas the ice storm in MEM really screwed things up. Peak is coming freight dawgs!
