Preparation

Consider this information:

The trucking industry accounts for almost 75% of all revenues raised in the transportation industry. It would be impossible to maintain an outstanding transportation system without 18-wheeler trucks. However, there is another side to trucking: accidents are up, drivers are pushing their limits, states are passing laws limiting sizes of trucks, and the four other modes of transportation - trains, air, sea and pipelines - are increasingly competing for trucking's traditional customer base.
