In the index futures like ES and NQ, the volume always rolls on 
the day before the 2nd Friday in the month.  This is equivalent 
to the Thursday 2 weeks before expiration day.

This month 3/1 was a Saturday, so the first Friday was 3/7, the 
second Friday is 3/14, and the day before the second Friday is 
3/13.
