I am no history buff but I have been around long enough to know when exporters were faced with tariffs to keep prices down I sort of believe they used alternate routes to ship their stuff. One of the first things I was worried about was the cheap online shopping going away. But then to my surprise it seemed like everything was going down 16 cents on the dollar on the sites I was visiting. I am like wait, what? I was like to myself well make this make sense. I was thinking with tariffs everything was going to go up about 34%. Then I thought these are not riverboat days these are the plane, speedboat, dropping packages off by drone type of days. There are intermodal companies, intermodal applications I am sure that have probably caused companies to take a second look and found out they could have been sending via different avenues and saving money all along.

Let's plan to be a victor and not a victim!
