The last few months of the year, especially the period leading up to the Lunar New Year, are always considered the peak season for the domestic transportation market. The demand for goods transportation increases sharply, while infrastructure, vehicles, and human resources are limited, putting significant pressure on the domestic supply chain.
For manufacturing, trading, and distribution businesses, domestic transportation is not just a logistics activity, but also a key factor in determining the ability to maintain delivery schedules, control costs, and preserve reputation with partners during the year-end "final push."
With rapidly increasing demand, domestic transportation is under immense pressure.
According to market trends, from the fourth quarter of each year, the volume of goods transported on domestic routes, especially the North-Central-South axis, increases sharply. Businesses accelerate production and distribution to complete orders before Tet (Lunar New Year), leading to a surge in demand for vehicles, containers, and warehousing.
Meanwhile, the supply of transportation vehicles is unlikely to expand rapidly in the short term. Shortages of vehicles and containers, congestion at warehouses and transit points occur frequently, especially in the weeks leading up to Tet (Lunar New Year). Coupled with traffic pressure at the gateways to major cities, transportation times are easily prolonged and difficult to control.
Many businesses report that even a few delayed shipments during peak periods can have a ripple effect, ranging from increased warehousing costs and delayed payments to a decline in customer reputation.
Variable costs and risks arise from a lack of early planning.
A noticeable characteristic during the year-end peak season is that domestic transportation costs tend to increase and fluctuate significantly. Businesses that book vehicles close to the delivery date often find themselves in a passive position, struggling to find suitable vehicles and having to accept higher costs without guaranteeing delivery deadlines.
According to logistics experts, the challenge of transportation during peak season is no longer about finding vehicles in the short term, but rather about early transportation planning and selecting capable partners to accompany you throughout the peak period. Early preparation helps businesses proactively manage resources, allocate goods rationally, and minimize potential risks.

Operational transparency – a factor that gives businesses peace of mind.
During peak season, the ability to track and control the shipping process is especially important. Knowing the progress allows businesses to proactively plan sales, deliveries, and cash flow, while also promptly addressing any unforeseen situations.
According to Vietsun Logistics, the application of a real-time transportation management and tracking system helps customers continuously update order status, minimize the risk of information being unavailable, and improve coordination between departments in the supply chain.
