140 Trucks. No Shops. No Terminals. How Autumn Transport Does It.

Description

About this video

140 owner-operators. Coast to coast. One office. No terminals. No repair shops. No shortcuts. Autumn Transport has quietly run that way for 45 years — and most people in the industry have never heard of them. In this feature, Jared sits down with Julie Andrich, the president of Autumn Transport, to dig into the origin story her dad built from a failing farm and a single hopper, how they scaled to 140 owner-operators without ever building a terminal or a shop, and what it really took for Julie to step into the seat after her dad passed. This one hits.
