We’re back with Brock Phillips, CEO of TruckLife Logistics and an OG TNH guest.
After 10 years in business, Brock returns to share the real journey — from a young trucking entrepreneur chasing growth… to a seasoned veteran who’s weathered one of the toughest markets in trucking history.
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.
