The Long Haul | Margins, Money, and the Truth About Factoring – A Real Talk with OTR Solutions’ Zach Buckner
from FreightCasts · host FreightWaves
Fuel prices just jumped again — up nine cents this week — and for small carriers, that’s not a market trend, that’s a problem. In this episode of The Long Haul, Adam sits down with Zach Buckner, Senior VP of Sales at OTR Solutions, to dig into what really separates good financial partners from the ones who quietly drain your margins. Zach shares his journey from sales executive to senior leadership, the lessons he’s learned from a decade in the factoring space, and why OTR is betting big on transparency, speed, and innovation to support small carriers when the market tightens. This is a conversation between two people who live it — not a sales pitch. If you’re an owner-operator or small fleet trying to manage cash flow and fuel spikes at the same time, this one’s for you.
