ATTENTION! Tide shifted. Finding enough containers used to be a cinch, because US massive hunger for imports meant they were constantly arriving and stacking up from Long Beach, Calif., to Long Island, N.Y.

Shipping companies typically scoured the country for anyone willing to fill outgoing boxes. But with the slump in the value of the dollar making U.S. goods more attractive to foreign buyers and many overseas economies continuing to hum, the tide has shifted in recent months. Trade figures being released Thursday are expected by many economists to show further growth in exports.

That means less containers coming in.
Therefore, there aren't enough cvontainers to ship goods as US tranfeorms itself quickly on export juggernaut.
