The Trucking Industry Is Lying to Itself… So We Asked REAL Truckers | Brake Check
Description
Today on Brake Check, live on FreightWaves, we traded spreadsheets, pie charts, and polished boardroom opinions for something a whole lot more real…
The people who actually live this industry.
We went LIVE from the legendary Bristol Motor Speedway at the Large Cars & Guitars Truck Show with one mission:
Get a real pulse check on trucking in 2026.
Because if you really want to know what’s happening in freight…
You don’t ask analysts.
You ask drivers.
You ask owner-operators.
You ask the men and women who actually keep America moving.
Today’s guests:
- Max Lacher - Behind the scenes on todays top trucking topics, fuel, optimization and more from performance diesel inc
- Kim Hartgrave - Real talk from behind the wheel with no corporate talking points
- Noah Volz from Truck Parking Club- Parking, todays tone and more
- Mike Beatey- Owner-operator truth with zero filters
From rates…
To parking…
To regulations…
To what’s really broken—and what’s finally getting better…
This isn’t a studio show.
This is Brake Check. Live. Loud. Unfiltered.
