The story behind it all
from church pews to trucking
It all started with a conversation at church—an idea that sparked my dream of owning a trucking business. My first attempt at buying a semi-truck ended in failure, but that setback led me to discover hotshot trucking. Through hard work, struggles, and lessons learned on the road, I built my business from the ground up. Now, I document my journey on YouTube, sharing the challenges, successes, and everything in between to help others navigate the trucking industry.
Grinding to growth
I know what it’s like to start small—just one non-CDL hotshot setup and a dream. The road wasn’t easy, but step by step, I figured it out. I started leasing on CDL owner-operators, learning how to scale my business, and eventually took the leap to buy two semis of my own. If you’re trying to grow in trucking, I’ve been where you are. That’s why I document my journey—the struggles, the wins, and the lessons learned—so you can navigate your own path with confidence.
The many struggles on the way
Getting into trucking seemed simple—buy a truck, book loads, and make money. But reality hit hard. I found myself in situations I never expected—breakdowns at the worst times, brokers refusing to pay, DOT audits I wasn’t ready for, and weeks where cash flow barely kept the business afloat. I learned that trucking isn’t just about driving; it’s about problem-solving, persistence, and adapting when everything goes wrong.
Through all the setbacks, I kept pushing forward, figuring out how to navigate the industry and build something sustainable. Now, I share my journey—the good, the bad, and the lessons learned—so others can be prepared for the road ahead.
