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. Drop your take in the comments: What’s the biggest thing broken in trucking right now? #Trucking #BrakeCheck #Freight #OwnerOperator #CDL #Bristol #TruckingNews #FreightWaves #LargeCarsAndGuitars ⁠Follow the Brake Check Podcast⁠ ⁠Other FreightWaves Shows⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.
