Most trucking company owners can tell you they’re busy.
But somewhere between 20 and 50 trucks, it gets harder to answer a different question:
Are we actually growing… or are we just running faster than we used to?
Because those two things can feel exactly the same day to day.
In this episode of Driven for Success, we talk about the difference between real growth and what often looks like growth but is really just more activity, more decisions, and more pressure on the owner.
You’ll hear:
• Why being busy is not evidence that the business is scaling
• The quiet signs that real growth is actually happening
• What “false growth” usually looks like inside a mid-size fleet
• Why decision fatigue becomes one of the biggest hidden drains on owners
• Two simple questions that can reveal where your growth is getting stuck
This conversation isn’t about working harder.
And it’s not about being better.
It’s about designing the business you’re already running so it doesn’t rely on you holding everything together with effort.
If you’re running 20–80 trucks and growth still feels heavier than it should, this episode will help you see why — and where to start looking first.
