In this episode of the BulkLoads Podcast, Jared Flinn sits down with Kyle Witt, a seasoned trucking entrepreneur who reveals one of the most overlooked and profitable niches in the industry: hauling scrap metal. Kyle shares how he transitioned from traditional freight to metal recycling and how this shift dramatically increased his revenue, consistency, and growth potential.
The conversation dives into the unique dynamics of scrap metal logistics—from trailer selection and loading processes to the relationships with scrap yards and metal processors that drive recurring business. Kyle explains why scrap hauling can offer more stability than spot market freight and how bulk haulers can position themselves to take advantage of this steady demand.
