Goods transport is cyclical, since (among other reasons) people shop more in the period leading up to Christmas.
It's almost always likely for any month in the current year be the busiest month year-over-year; but it's not often that May is busier than November, let alone all historical Novembers.
- OJFord 5y agoPerhaps better to say 'periodic', 'cyclical' is a term of art counterpart to 'defensive' - i.e. more price sensitive, discretionary goods and services, following the health of the economy (if worried about money you don't buy things you don't need to). I suppose goods transport is inherently cyclical in that sense too.. since it encompasses everything that is (that's a physical good) too, but that's not the point you were making (which I agree with/sounds sensible/true to me not knowing the industry).
