The initial read on Q3 GDP seemed pretty impressive at 2.5%. That would indicate things are moving along and creeping up to the 3% "benchmark" everyone is waiting for. However, like all things, there are the numbers then there are the numbers. I had heard on NPR that the inventory numbers seemed elevated so I did some quick research and sure enough it appears that at least.5% of the GDP number was due to the growth in inventory.

Sunday delivery was inevitable ( USPS and Amazon team up ) and I have talked about this a few times. In an article titled " Home Delivery Lockers at Wal-Mart " I discussed how Amazon might be able to team up with UPS to fight the "Clicks and Mortars" advantage of Wal-Mart.

I have reported on XPO logistics ( Follow this link on XPO to see all my thoughts) a lot as it fascinates me how a company comes out of nowhere and becomes so large so fast.

One of my favorite songs from childhood is "Won't Be Fooled Again" by The Who and this is my theme for what I have called the "fear trade" in transportation. This is the time of year when people put their freight out to bid and as expected, and right on queue, some of the major transportation providers are putting out press releases and other statements to start the fear trade - make shippers fearful that truck capacity is magically disappearing and that trucking companies are suffering.
