Demand? Increased demand? For WHAT??? How the hell can people afford to buy anything? What is in those containers? $4 Wal-Mart shoes? 50-cent rubber duckies??
It takes a lot of stuff to outfit 16.5k new IRS agents and 111 new federal bureaucracies.

I’m no economist...but from what I’ve heard on the late-night “trucking”
shows (out of Cincinnati on WLW 700 AM and Midnight Trucking on
WBAP 820 AM in Dallas), we may be entering a “re-stocking” phase.
If I understand this, retailers under-stocked their shelves and
warehouses during the misery of 2008 and 2009...and now are playing
“catchup” as the US economy hasn’t totally cratered and is showing that
it still has a pulse.
That’s just what I’ve heard on these trucking/semi shows...
and don’t know how true this is.
I just ordered a 69 cent credit card type, flat, magnifying glass from Hong Kong, with free shipping.
Before that I ordered some High Precision Anti-static Stainless Steel Curved Tips Tweezers (Black) from China for 39 cents with free shipping.
I’m helping to keep the ships sailing.
