Max Fuller: “The Man Who Built U.S. Xpress Explains What’s Happening to Freight” (PREVIEW)
FreightCaviar · March 31, 2026
We sat down with Max Fuller, Founder of U.S. Xpress.
At its peak, his company had nearly 10,000 trucks. He has been in trucking for over 50 years and has seen every cycle from regulation to deregulation to today’s market.
In this conversation, he explains how trucking actually worked before deregulation, how companies were growing 70 to 80 percent per year, and how early technology gave certain carriers a real edge.
“The OTR market is almost decimated… brokers have taken over.”
This is a preview of the full interview.
We cut this right before the most important part, where Max explains what happens next in freight and what it means for brokers.
That part is not public.
