Bulk Loads Podcast
I’m a farmer that has some trucks too. I move anywhere from 20-50 loads a week with most of it being livestock feed. The bulkloads podcast has helped me pass time while checking cattle on the farm while also giving me ideas to improve my business.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

BLP 365: For This Business, Success isn't Measured in Trucks

Q: What would be your advice to someone watching this who's starting out or trying to be better at it?

Seek mentorship from experienced operators who have a proven track record and build strong relationships with reliable brokers; the first two years involve paying your dues and learning from the bad experiences to reach the good ones.

BLP 360: How One Truck Puts $50,000 in Your Pocket Every Year

Q: How did you finance the initial fleet growth and what role did depreciation and tax strategy play?

I used a combination of personal funds and a partner investment, and accelerated depreciation (bonus depreciation) allowed us to economically justify buying five to six hundred thousand dollars worth of equipment in a year while reducing taxable income, which helped us reinvest and grow fuelly while managing cash flow.

BLP 360: How One Truck Puts $50,000 in Your Pocket Every Year

Q: Can you explain the math behind the $50,000 per truck potential and how you arrived at that goal?

The $50,000 figure comes from aligning per-truck revenue with operating costs, ensuring after-driver pay, fuel, and other expenses there's a healthy gross profit target. It also involves evaluating whether upgrading equipment or adding a truck yields a better ROI, with the driver's miles and loads factored into the annual profitability goal.

BLP 354: Why Most Trucking Companies Are Breaking the Law, And Don't Even Know It

Q: What practical steps can a small fleet take to improve quickly?

Start with a real audit to identify gaps, digitize driver and vehicle files, implement a driver coaching program, establish clear safety policies, and lock in a baseline safety culture. If needed, bring in an outside safety person to enforce disciplines and monitor compliance, and consider subscriptions or services that provide templates, training, and ongoing support.

BLP 354: Why Most Trucking Companies Are Breaking the Law, And Don't Even Know It

Q: Why are CSA scores and DOT audits so important to fleets beyond compliance?

CSA scores determine risk and influence who will service a fleet, insurance premiums, access to brokers and financing, and overall viability. Poor scores can trigger audits, conditional ratings, and loss of business, so maintaining a strong safety profile is directly linked to profitability and survivability.
