Faith and Fortitude: How Dana Gardner Built His Trucking Business
Manage episode 463382084 series 3245071
In this episode of the Trucking for Millennials podcast, we open with an important announcement about the future of the podcast. We then had the pleasure of speaking with Dana Gardner, the CEO of Dana Gardner Trucking. Dana's journey in the trucking industry is truly inspiring, starting with a modest $9,500 investment in a 1999 International truck. Over the years, he has successfully grown his business to operate a fleet of five trucks, specializing in liquid bulk transportation out of Southern Louisiana.
As we delved into Dana's story, he shared the challenges he faced along the way, including the trials of owning older trucks and the tough decisions that come with running a trucking business. We discussed the importance of knowing when to let go of equipment that is no longer serving your business, a lesson that many in the industry can relate to.
Dana also provided insights into the world of bulk transportation, explaining the intricacies of hauling hazardous and non-hazardous liquids. He emphasized the need for patience and practice in mastering the skills required for this type of hauling, which is often overlooked in the trucking industry.
Throughout our conversation, Dana's passion for trucking and his commitment to his drivers shone through. He shared how he navigated difficult situations, such as weather-related delays, and the importance of taking care of his team.
As we wrap up this episode, we want to take a moment to express our gratitude to our listeners. We hope that our show has made a positive impact on your journey in the trucking business, and we thank you for your support over the past five years.
