Most truckers don’t go broke because they can’t find freight…they go broke because of one decision—and it can cost you $100,000 or more.On this episode of Brake Check, we break down the $100K mistake truckers keep making—and how to beat it.We kick things off with Purple Wave Auctions to talk about how smart operators are buying trucks the RIGHT way—without getting buried in payments or upside down before they even get rolling.Then we bring in Super Trucker Justin Martin to expose the truth behind lease purchase programs—how they work, why so many drivers fall for them, and why they can leave you stuck, stressed, and starting over. If you’re thinking about becoming an owner-operator… this is a MUST WATCH.
