In this episode, we dive deeper into the trucking industry from a 20-year veteran Ms. Kierra Henderson aka The Trucking Guru.   Kierra has been mentioned on our show a few times by heavy hitters in the game so we had to make this connection happen. Kierra got her start in the trucking industry as a planner for a major trucking company Snyder then went full-time independent via Dispatching.  After Kierra learned the lane of dispatching she started to build her own fleet which grew to a massive 144 mega fleet. Sit back and enjoy another amazing episode.
