Putnam has hauled freight for more than twenty years. He’s never seen a struggle to keep on the road like this. “Guys are breaking down, and we can’t get parts for our trucks just like people can’t get what they want for Christmas possibly. When your truck breaks down, and you’re a senior owner operator, you might be waiting three or four weeks for a water pump. Four or five weeks for an engine rebuild kit,” said Putnam.
