She Never Planned to Run It — Now She Leads 140 Trucks | Julie Andrich of Autumn Transport
Description
About this video
Julie Andrich didn't grow up planning to run a trucking company. But when her father — a city kid who taught himself farming, failed his way into freight, and built Autumn Transport from a single truck in 1980 — passed away in 2015, Julie stepped into the seat. Now president of a 140-unit bulk carrier out of Woodbury, Minnesota, she shares the full story: where it started, how it grew, and what it means to carry on something bigger than yourself. In this episode, Julie and Jared cover the unique origin story, the owner-operator model that fueled four decades of growth, and the leadership lessons that still echo through the building today. 🔔 Subscribe for more bulk trucking stories, industry insight, and carrier spotlights. 📦 Learn more about BulkLoads → https://www.bulkloads.com/?utm_source=YouTube&utm_medium=Video&utm_campaign=Autumn+Podcast
