(25:15) Justin believes one thing he always encourages drivers to do is to adapt to their location and find out what product is moving from where they are.

(28:53) Justin explains how, like him, when someone begins a business as an owner-operator, they are generally in the red the first year (33:02) Justin explains why he registered 3 Peaks Logistics as an LLC and why business cards registered as an LLC should not be mixed with personal expenses.

(56:15) Key Quotes: “One thing I always tell drivers, adapt to your location, find out what product is moving from where you're at, and what you're trying to do.” - Justin Robbins “I've been lucky enough to where every move I've made has been forward. I just got that mindset to where I'm not going to be stagnant and I refuse to take steps backwards.” - Justin Robbins “Don't go buy yourself a pair of shoes with your business card because once you start mixing your personal with your business, the LLC is out the window.” - Justin Robbins Resources Mentioned: 3 Peaks Logistics LLC Cameron Pechia Thomas Comstock Ryan Young Valley Trucking Insurance

    Throwback: Put Cash and Control Back in your Pocket by Investing in a Captive!
    2024/11/29
    In this episode of Get a Load of This podcast, Cameron Pechia, and Ryan Young chat with Ian Mayster from Captive Resources to discuss captive insurance programs for fleet owners and the many benefits they provide. We discuss the many incentives, including investment potential, control, and safety - and how to get started. Listen in to learn how captives have benefited trucking companies around the country! Episode Highlights: Ian talks about his academic and professional background and what led him to the trucking insurance industry. (3:55) Ian explains that Captive Resources works as a group captive that team ups with brokers around the country. (6:55) Ian discusses their type of market and talks about how important it is to have enough premiums and workers’ compensation. (12:54) Ian explains that, over the years, they have realized that hauling trucks and restaurants are not always the best group setting and still vary for certain industries. (16:03) Ian shares that they created a mutual fund for all clients in the captive that allows them to invest their last funding portion. (23:53) Ian explains that a unique thing about captives is how they price the risk and have the option to take on control of premiums. (27:33) Ian discusses how captive members have benefited from the program during the pandemic. (31:25) Ian shares what type of client they are ideally looking for, safety wise. (41:33) Ian explains that they are very open to having conversations about getting captive ready and the steps that can be taken in the next several years to become a more suitable captive member. (44:30) Key Quotes: "This day and age in the umbrella market, it's sometimes hard to explain to clients and prospects what's going on, and how it is affecting their entire insurance program." - Ian Mayster "There is risk-sharing involved in the group captive here. But it's nice because that makes it true insurance, right? Otherwise, this would be self-insurance and you start to get into a whole different type of tax program structure." - Ian Mayster “It's often a lot more work upfront, but once they're in the captive, it's a pretty straightforward process. And we've got a lot of systems in place to make sure that they're happy, satisfied and serviced accordingly throughout their time in the program.” - Ian Mayster Resources Mentioned: Ian Mayster LinkedIn Captive Resources Cameron Pechia Thomas Comstock Ryan Young

    Throwback: Taking Your Freight Brokerage to the Next Level with Coaching
    2024/11/15
    In this throwback episode of Get a Load of This podcast, we talk to Benjamin Kowalski from Freight360. We talk about how to scale your freight brokerage business to superior levels and how training and mentoring through Freight360 can get you there faster. Ben is an expert in his field and is dropping MAJOR GEMS. Pay attention! Episode Highlights: Benjamin discusses the start of the Freight360 podcast and how it evolved into an educational platform with one-on-one and group coaching programs. (4:17) Benjamin mentions that if he had a CB Handle, it would be the first thing that came to his mind. (8:45) Benjamin discusses what he is seeing on the brokerage side given the current condition of the market and what he is advising his brokers to be looking at, especially in relation to the spot market and the contract market. (10:08) Benjamin shares his thoughts on cargo thefts and double brokering. (19:39) Benjamin mentions that when he works directly with brokerages on the coaching side, he digs into where their consumers need to go and the value as well as the risk of the commodity. (28:48) Benjamin discusses coaching three insurance agency owners in the consumer retail industry. (29:45) Benjamin explains that the first two hours he spends with every client are spent learning as much as he can about how they got to where they are now. (34:09) Benjamin explains that if you truly want more time, you must first delegate, which can be difficult to do when someone has achieved success because usually they do everything alone. (37:41) Benjamin explains that the qualities he looks for in a client is someone who is not currently satisfied with their situation or who is satisfied but wants to grow, and who is prepared to do whatever it takes to get there. (45:32) Benjamin mentions that they are already in discussions about developing a second edition of their course tailored to trucking companies, particularly smaller owner-operators because they face many of the same difficulties. (48:24) Benjamin believes that greatness is defined by doing the tough thing every day, even when you don't feel like it. (49:50) Key Quotes: “The first two hours I spend with any client is mostly understanding as much as I can of how they arrived at where they're at right now. And I'll go back to even high school, college adolescent sports because I'm really big on analogies and using other situations to point out that oftentimes people have they actually have the answer to their own problem.” - Benjamin Kowalski “The biggest thing people struggle with is giving things to another person knowing they could do it better, and knowing the person they're training is going to make mistakes.” - Benjamin Kowalski “If you really want more time or need more time, you first have to get the things off your plate. And that is a very difficult thing to do when somebody has become successful because they do everything themselves.” - Benjamin Kowalski Resources Mentioned: Benjamin Kowalski LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/benjaminkowalski/ Freight360: http://www.freight360.net/ Cameron Pechia: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cameron-pechia-49903072/ Ryan Young: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryanyoung1986/ Valley Trucking Insurance: https://www.valleytruckinginsurance.com/
