Business Inventories Hold Steady in September

Business inventories were little changed in September while sales increased, the Commerce Department said Tuesday.

The unchanged figure followed a revised 0.4% gain in August that was smaller than the 0.5% originally reported.

September inventories were projected to increase 0.1%, Bloomberg reported.

Factory inventories rose 0.1%.

When sales are growing, it usually means trucking is seeing additional demand to deliver goods and restock shelves.
