I’m in early discussions to help a private equity firm launch a trucking division - asset based carrier.

They can enter the market with 20 trucks and they have the financial backing for more if needed.

Dry van trailers based in Houston, TX.

We’re looking for dedicated contract work w/ set lanes.

I’d like to set up in-person meetings with anyone who has available work for some or all of this capacity. I would also appreciate any leads or introductions.

Thank you for your consideration.

@freadomtruck07 Check out the news on @BotAutoAV when you get a moment. It might be closer than you think.

Right now looks like a very good opportunity to be an asset based carrier. The rates are high, capacity is shrinking and work is plentiful.

Operating expenses are very high so that’s still a problem. Seems like less OTR guys on the road too. Maybe that’s the opportunity. In a world of AI, someone still needs to do the work in the physical world.

Autonomous trucks are here. That can be built into the business model.

There’s a lot of alpha in putting your ego aside by being willing to be cringe, willing to fail in public, willing to ask for what you want and face rejection, etc.

@StephNass Try GoHighLevel. You can set up an AI agent if you want. That will save you lots of time. Much better than HubSpot in my opinion. I’ve been a customer of both. No disrespect to HubSpot, also a nice product, good sales team. Just my experience.

@SiriSaysYT Much love TJ, thanks for all your support. Baby shower last week of May if you want to make a trip to Houston.

My girl really makes our home a home. Breakfast beautifully made and served. Always made with love, always tastes delicious.

I’m so blessed to have a woman like this. We’re expecting our first child in the next few weeks. She will be the most incredible mother to our child. I’ll work my hardest and do everything I can to provide them with the life they deserve.

The mentality and dedication it takes to be a high level athlete is the best life lesson a young person can learn. You learn to expect greatness from yourself. You learn that success doesn’t come overnight, it comes from years of hard work and constant training. This directly translates to life and business.

Ken Griffin on the single factor he looks for when hiring at Citadel:

"show me an athlete who did well academically."

"an athlete because they know what it takes to win and they've had to experience loss."

talent is everywhere. what's rare is someone who knows how to lose, recover, and still perform at a high level.

same thing separates profitable traders from everyone else.

@garrett_makes @SearchCarriers Simple T-shirts and Hats are always cool. Legal zoom does branded notebooks, that’s pretty cool. OpenPhone (Quo) does zip up fleece jackets, which is the coolest swag I’ve personally seen but I’m sure it’s very expensive.

Average attracts average. You want exceptional? Be freaking exceptional. Be wildly delightful. Be incredibly optimistic. Ruin them with your enthusiasm. Make them wonder. What makes you so different? Bang down every door until there are no doors left. Build your own door. Run through it. Don’t worry about making the “right” decision. Make the decision right. You’ve only got so much time left here. It is fleeting and going faster than you realize. Every single day matters. It matters. You matter. So make the absolute most of it. You’ve got nothing to lose except yourself. I hope you do. Lose yourself. Find yourself again. Don’t look back.

When someone invests their time into you, or invests funds into your company, they’re putting their trust in you. They’re putting their faith in you. They’re telling you they believe in you.

There will be no greater feeling than proving these people right.

There will be no greater feeling than returning that trust with enormous ROI.

I have an intense desire to prove these people right. I can’t describe this feeling. It’s an overwhelming, intense sense of obligation and desire to show these people they’re made the smartest decision of their lives. They’ve made the right bet.

[Kevin | Auto Transport, Freight & Logistics @carshippingguy]

They can doubt you, many people will. They can look at your resume and label you the best thing since sliced bread, many people will.

The only thing that really matters is results. What have you built? How many customers have you generated? How many sales have you made?

You can spend time building something, introduce it to the market and nobody decides to use it.

That tells you all you need to know.

We’re bringing a solution to the auto transport industry that doesn’t exist.

In 2026 we shipped 2,000+ vehicles for 1,400 customers. We’ve proven it on a small scale with a small team, AI, limited resources and close to zero marketing budget. Still generated $1m+ sales revenue in 2025.

I’ve been in this game as a driver, 6 truck fleet owner, broker and now technology builder. I’m an expert in this industry.

18 years of experience in every level of the auto transport game. You can’t easily replicate that.

Highs and lows. Successes and failures. Lessons that you can’t read about, you have to go through them to understand.

Now we have multiple commitments for capital that will help us scale our business.

We’re introducing a better experience for individual customers and small dealerships who need to ship their vehicles.

This industry is still stuck in the “taxi” era. Manual phone calls, manual quotes, posting to load boards, emails, phone tag, no GPS tracking, no idea who your driver is, and other legacy processes that should have been left in the 1990’s. It’s shocking.

We’re working on modern digital solutions to provide an experience consumers expect in 2026.

@LfcNuel He’s peddling backwards, it will be very tough to generate enough power on the header to be a real goal scoring opportunity. Header pass is the right choice here, in my opinion.

[Kevin | Auto Transport, Freight & Logistics @carshippingguy]

Yes, we also have experience transporting vehicles for CarMax. They’re also a great company. I view CarMax and Carvana as industry pioneers — they’re both trying to push the customer experience forward in the automotive industry. Sometimes they get things right, sometimes wrong, but it’s undeniable that they’re both constantly trying to improve the user experience.

The most important people to have on your team are “doers”.

The people who make it happen.

They don’t easily get discouraged at the first sign of a set back.

You can be the most intelligent person but if you don’t have the will to execute against all odds, you’re not the difference maker.

@alwaysthoughtt1 @jackrwilkie Mr. Angry anon, I’m a real person who does real business with the company, not an AI bot. Stay blessed though.
