I'm in the wrong business.  I think the driver shortage is propaganda.  What, did they all die of CÖVÌD?  Unemployment at +$300 per week isn't enough to disincentivize these guys from working, like it definitely has been for the minimum wage folks.
Based on the truckers and fleet manager  I have talked to, the trucker shortage is real, because the younger drivers to not want to do the long haul jobs. So many trucking companies have to raise the salary to attract drivers, yet the quality of drivers has decreased. Many of the old timers (owner/operators) say their sons do not want to take over the business, and the old-timers are getting old and tired so they do not want to do long haul anymore, or they are doing less.

So I have $1000 in cash and I'm thinking it might be a good idea to convert it into something tangible.

I have about 4 months worth of food and supplies.
My advice is to load up on canned food.  Maybe buy some physical silver coins, if you can find them.  Have cash on hand.

The laws of economics always work; just like the laws of physics or chemistry. They're inherent in the nature of things.

Sure, that's why the stockmarket has been going steadily up despite the fact that we've been in a serious recession if not borderline depression for the past two years.  Even the other day when their new jobs numbers reported the worst miss of expectations in 23 years, the market went up.

It's all fake.  They just claim that they have a certain money supply.  FIAT money doesn't exist and so normal economic rules don't apply.

But what about COVID magically caused this?  We didn't have a trucker shortage before COVID.  They all died?

A huge problem with finding truck drivers and equipment operators is being able to find someone who can pass a drug test.
