    A lot of what I haul is almost recession proof. Bulk food products like rolled oats, granola, oatmeal, honey, etc going to bakeries, distribution points, and such. Medical supplies from plants to distribution points. That type of thing for example. Thru this entire recession period starting back with Bush, the entire fuel pricing that went into the stratosphere a few years ago, and the current low rate thing, all have had very little impact on my net earnings. Not totally a non issue, but very manageable.
