21:35Now PlayingThe freight market was supposed to be recovering. Instead, trucking companies are still filing for bankruptcy, laying off workers, and struggling to survive.
In this video, we take a look at a new FreightWaves report showing that freight distress continues to spread across the transportation industry. While freight rates have improved in some areas, the cost of operating a truck has increased as well. Rising fuel costs, insurance expenses, maintenance costs, and weak freight demand are creating a difficult environment for carriers, owner-operators, and trucking companies of all sizes.
As an owner-operator myself, I'll explain what I'm seeing on the road and why many truckers feel like we've been here before. Is the freight recession really ending, or are we headed into another round of pain for the trucking industry?
If you're a truck driver, owner-operator, warehouse worker, or anyone who depends on freight moving across America, let me know what you're seeing in your area.
