One of our LTL carrier sales reps paid us a visit this morning. He told us that this week is the busiest week of the year for them; retailers are starting to stock up for Christmas and the holidays, etc.

He mentioned that the traffic of goods is so high right now that they're having to lease trailers, and that the trailer pools are becoming scarce.

This is the last big push of goods into the retail sector this year - time to get out and shop!
