When Craig Broerman got the call that his son was in the hospital — while he was loading cottonseed 10 hours from home in North Carolina — he knew something had to change. The next morning, he got another call: his grandpa and best friend had just passed away.

That was the moment he decided to get out of the truck.

In this BulkLoads Feature, we travel to Ohio to sit down with cousins Craig Broerman and Alan Lennartz — two young entrepreneurs who built something special by doing the hard thing: having an honest conversation about who should be doing what. Craig stepped out of the driver's seat to focus full-time on freight, dispatch, and customer relationships. Alan took over the trucks, the shop, and the drivers. The result? More revenue, more efficiency, and a business that finally felt sustainable. If you're an owner-operator burning the candle at both ends, or a small fleet owner trying to figure out the next step, this conversation is for you.
