The Long Haul | Credit Is a Tool Not a Lifeline – What Small Carriers Actually Need to Understand

Credit isn’t the problem in trucking—misunderstanding it is. In this episode of The Long Haul Podcast, I sit down with Gerri Detweiler, to break down how credit really works for owner-operators and small fleets. This isn’t a conversation about products or approvals. It’s about how personal credit, business credit, and cash flow collide in real life—and why too many carriers end up trapped instead of empowered. If you’ve ever wondered why “good revenue” still feels like financial stress, this episode is for you. ⁠Follow The Long Haul Podcast⁠ ⁠Other FreightWaves Shows⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.
