    fun question 01 ??: I am new to semis (used to have a cummins 96 dodge which I like though). Question: Are Petes with strong/souped Cats one of the best combos ever? I drove an 18 speed combo like this and liked it the best!

    In regards to this, Trucking is probably one of the safest industries to be in. In my 40 years, I cannot recall a big industry layoff in this industry. Of course, that could change with a minutes notice but there will always be a need for trucking, just due to the need to survive. Of course there were layoffs in companies that could no longer compete in the industry but there seems to have always been a large number of vacancies in the industry to accommodate the layoffs.

    Individually, its always best to be prepared for the worst but I know of very few truckers who had to wait very long to be back in a truck.

    I appreciate this answer. I especially lean toward local wheat for various reasons BUT I also assume some commodities/loads are safer than others, such as wheat over trinkets ....
