Sandra & Kevin Marsh
Kenworth T680 — 53' Dry Van (Team)
Dry Van • Home Time • West Coast
The Challenge
Sandra and Kevin were a married team-driving couple who were earning well on cross-country runs but burning out from coast-to-coast hauls with no home time. Their relationship was strained by the constant pressure. Kevin had developed a health condition requiring regular medical appointments, making the non-stop model unsustainable.
Grow Trucking Solution
Grow Trucking redesigned their operations around a relay model — running the LA-to-Denver leg on one cycle and the Denver-to-NY leg on another, with a 48-hour home base in Denver (where they lived) between legs. This created a hub-and-spoke structure that maintained their high team earnings while giving them consistent home time and medical appointment windows.
Route Optimization
I-15 North to I-70 East (LA-Denver), then I-70 East to I-76 to I-80 East (Denver-NY). Splitting at Denver also allowed each leg to be optimized for different shippers, improving rate quality on both segments.
