Eric Glidewell, owner of JP Transport, sits down to share the real story behind building a 45-truck cement hauling operation from scratch — with no trucking background and no blueprint to follow. In this episode, Eric breaks down:

The "$50K per truck" formula he uses to measure profitability How he grew from 2 trucks in 2009 to 45 trucks across the Midwest Why reputation in cement hauling is everything (and what "on time" actually means) The role faith played in how he leads his drivers and runs his business How bonus depreciation became a key tool for scaling fast What he'd tell his younger self if he could go back

Whether you're an owner operator, a small fleet owner, or just someone building something from nothing — Eric's story is one you don't want to miss. 🎧 Subscribe to BulkLoads Podcast for more real conversations with operators, owners, and industry veterans in the bulk trucking world.
