Will Interest Rate Cuts Save the Trucking Industry? | Owner Operator at a Breaking Point

In this video, I share my honest thoughts on whether the trucking industry will improve with recent interest rate cuts. As an owner operator, I’ve been struggling to keep my business afloat over the past 3 years during one of the toughest freight recessions in history. Now, I’m at a breaking point—facing the hard decision of giving up one of my trucks or possibly filing bankruptcy.

If you’re in the trucking industry, an owner operator, or thinking about starting your own trucking business, this video is for you. I talk about the challenges, the reality of running trucks in this economy, and whether lower interest rates can truly help us survive.

About This Channel:
Welcome to Owner Op Port Life! 🚛 I’m an owner-operator truck driver working out of the Long Beach ports, and this channel gives you a real inside look at the daily grind of port trucking. From smooth in-and-out transactions to unexpected delays, I share the real life of a port driver—no sugarcoating, just authentic experiences on the road and inside the terminals.

I also share DIY truck repair tips for drivers who want to handle simple fixes on their own. From replacing mudflaps and air filters to swapping out tractor-trailer air and electrical lines or installing new windshield wipers, I show you how to take care of the basics and keep rolling without wasting time or money.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to be an owner-op at the ports, or you’re thinking about getting into the industry yourself, this channel is here to show you the process, the challenges, and the lifestyle.
