The Challenge
Brenda was a dedicated carrier for a single retail shipper who abruptly cancelled her contract during a demand slowdown. With no backup brokers and a lease payment due in 10 days, she was in financial crisis. She called Grow Trucking with a single request: get me loads now.
Grow Trucking Solution
Within 6 hours of onboarding, Grow Trucking had Brenda loaded with a backhaul automotive parts run from Charlotte to Nashville. Over the following two weeks, we rebuilt her entire book of business with four new broker relationships across retail goods, beverage distribution, and medical supplies — providing lane diversity so she would never again rely on a single shipper.
Route Optimization
I-85 West to I-26 to I-40 West. Grow Trucking arranged a fuel discount through our fleet fuel program at 8 stops on this corridor, saving Brenda $0.14/gallon — meaningful on a lane she now runs 3x per week.
