Mississippi Shipping

[Maverick]

Reports are the water has dropped an additional 10" in the last week. Barges are pulling off some routes and if this continues, how do you suppose it will affect Expedite shipping, if at all? I would think if the barges cannot run (and that could be sooner than we think) it would definitely pick up on the TT side for normal shipping?

Please excuse if this has been covered. But she keeps dropping all the while.
