In this episode, we sit down with Paul Radloff and Brittany Fenstemacher from Agar Transportation to talk about what it means to buy "blue sky" in the trucking industry. Paul bought the company with just $300 to his name but a whole lot of ambition to make it work. Brittany, the brains behind the scenes, helped bring structure to the transition and continues to play a vital role in operations.

We also talk openly about the current slowdown in the livestock transportation industry, how the weight of this season is affecting business owners and drivers alike, and why mental health awareness in this industry matters now more than ever.

This episode is full of real talk, laughs and insight.

Tune in to hear:

  • Paul's background in trucking
  • How he came to own Agar Transportation
  • Brittany's role in the company and what makes a great team
  • PAR Repair and other ventures they've started
  • Why dispatching is harder than ever right now
  • The mental toll of slow seasons, and the importance of talking about it
  • Advice for others navigating transition, ownership, and burnout in rural industries
