Winter is Coming: Snowfall's Chilling Grip on the Supply Chain

In the world of Westeros, the Stark words "Winter is Coming" signal impending doom and harsh trials. Similarly, in the real-world supply chain, snowfall heralds disruptions that can freeze operations in their tracks. Heavy snow leads to road closures, slippery highways, and delayed deliveries, much like a Northern blizzard halting an army's march. For trucking fleets, this means longer transit times for goods like perishables, electronics, and pharmaceuticals, spiking costs and testing logistics resilience.

But the threats go beyond mere delays—adverse weather creates vulnerabilities akin to breaches beyond the Wall. Stranded trucks in remote, snowbound areas become easy targets for opportunistic "White Walkers" (thieves), especially with high-value loads exposed amid poor visibility and isolation. Drivers must navigate these hazards while maintaining load integrity, turning every journey into a battle against the elements.

Modules on weather-impacted routes, red flag spotting in blizzards, and secure seal protocols help defend against these winter woes, ensuring your supply chain survives the long night.
