  • Diesel Shockwave: How the Iran War Is Hitting U.S. Trucking
    Mar 14 2026

    In this episode, I break down the Diesel Shockwave — what’s driving diesel prices higher across the continental U.S., why it matters for truckers and small carriers, and what you can do right now to protect your business.

    I keep this focused on the real world: diesel moves faster than freight rates, and when that happens, owner-operators and small fleets get squeezed first. I talk about why diesel is acting worse than gasoline, what to expect if fuel volatility drags on, and how global tension (including Iran) can add a “risk premium” that shows up at the pump even here at home. I also touch on Venezuela and why heavy crude supply can matter for Gulf Coast refining — without pretending it’s a magic switch that instantly lowers pump prices.

    In this episode I cover:
    • Why diesel is surging and why trucking feels it first
    • What fuel volatility means for freight rates and profit margins
    • Spot vs contract freight during fuel spikes (how to avoid losing loads)
    • The biggest trap: staying “busy” while losing money
    • Practical fuel-saving moves you can start today: idle, speed, tires, trip planning, fueling strategy, and maintenance
    • What I’m watching next and what you should watch weekly

    If you drive for a living, run a trucking business, dispatch loads, or depend on freight, this episode is built for you. My goal is simple: help you stay sharp, disciplined, and profitable while fuel is moving.

  • What U.S. Truckers Need to Know (Fuel Prices, Rates, and Survival Tips)
    Mar 14 2026

    In this episode of The Howl, I break down what’s happening with fuel prices in the continental U.S. and why diesel is becoming the biggest pressure point for truckers, owner-operators, and small fleets.

    I talk about what’s driving the surge, why diesel can climb faster than freight rates, and what you should expect if fuel stays unstable. I keep it focused on real-world trucking: how to think about spot vs contract freight during fuel spikes, how to avoid hauling cheap freight on expensive diesel, and what operational moves you can make right now to save fuel and protect your margin.

    We also touch briefly on the global risk premium affecting oil markets, and how sources like Venezuela can factor into supply—without pretending it’s a magic fix that instantly lowers pump prices.

    Topics covered in this episode:
    • Why diesel is surging and why it hits trucking first
    • What to expect if fuel volatility continues
    • Spot vs contract freight: how fuel spikes change the game
    • The biggest trap: staying “busy” while losing money
    • Practical fuel-saving moves: idle, speed, tires, trip planning, fueling strategy, maintenance
    • How to think like a business when fuel is moving

    If you drive for a living or run a transportation business, this episode is for you.

  • Rules of the Road: Compliance, Independence, and the Future of Trucking
    Feb 28 2026

    In Episode 4 of The Howl, I break down several major issues affecting the trucking industry today, including:

    • English proficiency requirements and why they matter for safety, communication, and CDL standards
    • The 2026 changes to non-domiciled CDLs and what they could mean for drivers and carriers
    • The federal withdrawal of the speed limiter mandate and why that was such a major issue for the industry
    • Roadcheck 2026, with a focus on ELD tampering and cargo securement
    • Independent contractor and owner-operator concerns, especially the growing pressure around classification and staying truly independent

    In this episode, I share my personal thoughts on where the industry is heading and what these changes mean for drivers, carriers, and small business owners trying to protect their livelihood. This is a serious conversation about responsibility, professionalism, compliance, and the future of trucking in America.
