April saw a slowdown in how goods move around the country, according to a report released on Tuesday. This report looks at how easy it is to transport things, like when prices go up or down, and how much space there is to carry stuff. 

 

The report said that after getting better for three months in a row, it got worse again in April. Prices for moving things dropped, and there wasn't as much room to carry things, but it didn't change too much from the month before.

 

After all, there are measurements being made on a scale. If the number is above 50, it means things are getting better, but if it's below 50, it means things are getting worse.

 

In early April, there was a big difference between how much their properties could be moved and how much it cost. But by the end of the month, they were closer together, maybe because people were buying more items for the summer, or because they thought prices might go down later in the year.

 

Truck companies also said they didn't make as much money as they wanted in the first three months of the year because there were too many trucks and not enough equipment around to carry. But one company said it might be getting better.

 

The report said that for things to really get better, prices would have to go up more than the quantity being carried. It's not there yet, but it might happen soon.

 

According to findings, most people said there will be more room to carry things, and prices will go up a lot.

 

Overall, the report said that things are still getting better, but not as quickly as before. It said that the amount sitting around in warehouses is going down, which is good, but it's still expensive to keep everything there.
