What happens when a 5th generation farmer with zero trucking experience decides to diversify—and ends up hauling 100% of the freight out of a rail transload facility?

In this feature, we follow Franklin Carmack as he balances two worlds: 🌾 multi-generation farming 🚛 bulk trucking 🚂 rail-to-truck logistics

After hauling just one load through BulkLoads, Franklin unexpectedly landed a long-term opportunity moving rail freight coming out of Canada and delivering to pet food facilities across the Mid-South. Today, his trucks handle nearly every load coming out of this rail spur—despite being brand new to bulk hauling.
