Windy Expedite Announces Official Membership in the ECA

Windy Expedite is pleased to announce our official membership in the ECA, A Delivery Industry Alliance, secured in early 2026. The ECA represents the standard for excellence in the customized logistics and expedited delivery sectors. For our brokerage partners, this membership serves as an independent validation of our operational reliability, safety compliance, and financial stability. We are proud to align our asset-based fleet with a national organization dedicated to optimizing carrier-shipper relations and advancing the standards of the modern supply chain. We look forward to leveraging this alliance to deliver superior service on every lane.

Executive Leadership Attendance at the 2026 CLDA Final Mile Forum

To maintain a competitive advantage in expedited logistics, continuous industry alignment is required. This February, the executive leadership of Windy Expedite attended the Customized Logistics and Delivery Association (CLDA) 2026 Final Mile Forum. Engaging directly with supply chain innovators allows us to evaluate and implement the latest tracking technologies and routing efficiencies. Our commitment to professional development ensures that our brokerage partners receive an asset-based service that is informed by the highest current standards in customized delivery and final-mile ex*****on.

Structural Resumption of Trans-Suez Maritime Services

Major maritime carriers, including Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd, have initiated a structural return to Trans-Suez routings as of February 2026. The resumption of the ME11 service via the Suez Canal is expected to reduce international transit times by up to 19 days on specific lanes. At Windy Expedite, we are monitoring these global network adjustments to support the accelerated final-mile delivery requirements of our partners. As ocean-bound freight reaches domestic ports with increased velocity, our expedited fleet is prepared to manage the resulting surge in time-critical inland transport. We provide the strategic agility required to align domestic logistics with shifting global trade patterns.

FMCSA Extension of 40-State Regional Emergency Declaration

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has extended the Regional Emergency Declaration through February 20, 2026, providing critical Hours-of-Service (HOS) relief across 40 states. This measure is in response to severe winter storms and extreme cold conditions currently impacting North American freight corridors. Windy Expedite continues to utilize advanced route analytics and real-time weather monitoring to navigate these regional disruptions. While the waiver provides necessary operational flexibility for emergency relief, our primary focus remains the safe and disciplined ex*****on of every mile. We prioritize the integrity of your freight during volatile winter conditions.

Implementation of Mandatory Electronic Refunds by U.S. Customs and Border Protection

Effective February 6, 2026, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has transitioned to a mandatory electronic refund process via the Automated Clearing House (ACH) system. This shift, outlined in the Electronic Refunds Interim Final Rule, eliminates the use of paper checks for the majority of trade-related refunds. Windy Expedite has proactively integrated its financial workflows with the ACE Portal to ensure seamless capital reconciliation. This digital advancement allows us to maintain superior liquidity and provide our partners with accelerated financial transparency. We remain committed to adopting the latest fiscal technologies to streamline the expedite process.

FMCSA 2026 Compliance Standards

The 2026 FMCSA Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse requirements strengthen industry safety standards. As an asset-based carrier, Windy Expedite maintains 100% compliance with these directives, guaranteeing that your freight is handled only by the most qualified professionals. Safety remains our priority.

CBSA CARM: Fully Implemented

With the CBSA's transition to the digital CARM system in 2026, Windy Expedite has optimized the US-Canada border crossing process. Integrating our operations with new customs protocols allows our fleet to avoid administrative delays, ensuring faster and more efficient international transit for your cargo.

2026 ALCAN Highway Modernization

Infrastructure investments in the ALCAN Highway in 2026 are improving route stability. These road modernizations reduce transit risks for our High-Roof Sprinter fleet, allowing Windy Expedite to provide even more reliable and predictable delivery to Alaska and remote northern territories.
