The article is comparing statistics from Q3 to Q2 in 2017; which does not take into account seasonal pattern. We feel it is more appropriate to compare quarterly statistic year-over-year. As we are approaching the Holiday Season, there are generally more merchandise being transported compared to different times of the year.
