Description

About this video

60 Years of Trucking Knowledge in 15 Minutes | Rick Johnson & MJ Leasing

Rick Johnson started in trucking in 1967. He's been a driver, an operator, a COO, and the president of a $250 million company. He's built and sold businesses his entire career. And at nearly 78 years old, he's still at it — because he genuinely can't imagine doing anything else. In 15 minutes, Rick unpacks what six decades in this industry actually taught him — about drivers, about equipment, about lease purchase done right, and about why the companies that put people first are always the ones that last. This is not a highlight reel. This is 60 years of hard-won knowledge, straight from the source.
