Like most industries, trucking will slow down right alongside the economy. Why? People buy less, companies manufacture less, and as a result, they ship less. Fewer shipments mean fewer drivers. It's a pretty simple formula.

However, trucking is also one of those industries that will always continue to exist, even in a slow economy. Goods will always need to be shipped, food will always need to be delivered, and truck drivers will always be needed. As we continue to ship to and from Mexico, or import goods from China, there will always be a need to get the products to the different stores around the country, including the small towns.

So, how recession-proof is the trucking industry? About as recession-proof as any other essential industry. It'll ebb and flow with the economy, but it's not going to die.

And the thing is, right now, when the recession is coming to an end and the economy is just starting to inch its way back up, this is the perfect time to consider truck driving school. Why? Because by the time you're done with your truck driving education, hiring will be on the rise again, companies will be looking, and you'll be in demand.
