This Stock Could Be the No. 1 Buy in a Recession

The supply chain is an often-invisible aspect of the American economy. Goods are made all over the country, but they must get from one place to another. Less-than-truckload freight company Old Dominion Freight Line (NASDAQ: ODFL) plays a vital role in that process.

Trucking isn't the flashiest business, but the stock has been dynamic for long-term shareholders. Shares have returned 1,100% in price appreciation alone over the past decade.
