Business Inventories Rise in March
Business inventories rose 0.4% in March, and sales increased 1%, the Commerce Department reported May 13.
The rise in inventories follows a 0.5% increase in February.
Retail inventories were unchanged in March, after a 0.1% decline in February, and manufacturing increased 0.1% after a 0.7% increase the prior month, Commerce said.
When sales are growing, trucking usually faces additional demand to deliver goods.
