According to the provided search context, massive numbers of "completely empty" oil tankers are heading to the U.S. to load up with oil and gas, but these are described as ocean-going supertankers arriving from various nations, not vessels moving on US rivers. President Donald Trump stated on Truth Social that these large tankers are coming to the United States to load the "best and 'sweetest' oil" available.
While the search results discuss US river barges (specifically on the Arkansas and Mississippi Rivers) as a method for moving domestic crude oil from inland sources like North Dakota and Texas to Gulf Coast refineries, the specific claim about empty tankers heading to the US to load up refers to international shipping rather than domestic river transport. The context highlights that these ocean tankers are being used to transport US crude to global markets following the conflict in the Strait of Hormuz.
Not much to debate here. I don't think what we are seeing extra from inland traffic is international much, but there may be a higher volume response, of course, if the companies are trying to get out in front of the price and are selling lower to distros between states to avoid the squeeze.. so when prices drop, they won't be stuck selling lower and losing potential revenue.
They were already prepared for it before drill baby drill. They know the system, and now we know. And that's how you keep the economy in check. We aren't as powerless as we believe we are.
Completely uneducated hypothesis, only observation.
