He opens up about losing a major portion of his business when the market collapsed — and how he stayed in the fight when most folded. This isn’t a highlight reel. It’s survival. It’s resilience. It’s what 10 years in trucking really looks like. If you’re in this industry, this conversation will hit home. Special thanks to our guest: Brock Phillips https://www.instagram.com/bphilllips
