What affects actual transit
Pickup / delivery postcode: loads outside major hubs add time.
Time of week: a load picked up Thursday afternoon often lands faster than one picked up Friday afternoon because weekend driver-hours limits kick in.
Seasonality: pre-Christmas peak and late-summer holiday periods shift transit times.
Customs profile (UK, CH): typical clearance windows apply on top of transit.
