Which types of freight are affected the LEAST in a down economy?

Second this, but I'll add:
4) Requires special knowledge/ability by trucker


I.e. Serving a restrictive market/ providing a service most others can't seem to handle.

 

Why, did Miller/Coors slow down?

 

Meat and beer .

 

I think chocolate consumption goes up during a recession

 

Well. Miller did close the Eden plant...

 

Diapers are in high demand during a downturn.

 

Caskets.

 

Hauling garbage

 

Wow, no kidding. I worked for Millis as a local driver in Milwaukee back in the early/mid 80's, then late 80's early 90's OTR/Local driver for Badger Lines as a Beer Hauler, back then they shut down the Genuine Draft line in Eden and moved it to Milwaukee for a couple of years, then moved it Fort Worth TX. Was in Miller in Milwaukee last year and have to admit, it's more screwed up since the merger.

 

Some part of the world have "jet spray". No toilet paper. Just let it dry and that's it
