Although Mike built up to 2 trucks, he got frustrated with the industry and sold them both.

#Startsmallendbig Chris Bright represents the true essence of Truck N’Hustle.An Avid listener and supporter of the show, Chris started his business under 2 years ago, but with the help of his community and team has grown a flourishing last-mile operation that consists of 7 box trucks and 12 Sprinter Vans. In total, they deliver about 5,000 packages per day. Chris has always been a entrepreneur. His first passion and business was a print shop, which he invested every thing he had into but would ultimately fail. After that experience, Chris wanted to try his hands at something new and was interested in the exploding trucking industry. With little knowledge Chris began to do some research. He would find that the expense of getting stated with a semi truck was a bit more that he could invest at the moment. This is when Chris found the term “courier service”. He would began to explore last -mile logistics and it would become his niche and also his passion. To start, Chris went out and got his first box truck while still working a full time job. He would work his 9-5 during the day and deliver packages for Amazon at night. He would slowly grow his operation adding on additional box trucks. Chris would then begin to connect with his community to scale and build no limit truck co. To where it is today. Purpose driven, Chris's goal is to create 100 jobs in his community, of which the number is currently at 35 and counting.

#88 Thomas "Tank" Johnson - Building The Larges...
Thomas “Tank” Johnson’sstory starts out like many who have come from poverty, unfortunate circumstances and a rough childhood. Growing Up in Memphis, TN, Tank had his share troubles. Football would become his ticket to college and would get him out of that environment.Tanks talents would eventually lead him to the NFL where he would have a fruitful career and retire with the Falcons. The NFL would provide opportunities for Tank and his family that were beyond his wildest dreams coming from his circumstances. Tank would have many memorable moments and enjoyed his career ,however, like most athletes life after sports can be an uphill battle and very difficult to find your footing.Tank had to start over, and find a career outside of sports. One of the most pivotal moments for Tank would be joining a program for Athletes going back into the workforce. Through this program, Tank had now found transportation. He started off by working as an intern to learn before starting his own company with some friends.Through some ups and downs and and extremely interesting turn of events, Tank, would eventually partner with UPS . Tank’s company did such a great job with UPS they offered to invest in his company to increase his capacity as they had interest in diversifying with minority carriers and simply did not have enough performing at Tank’s companies level.At this moment a lightbulb went off for Tank “How about a Consortium concept?” Instead of taking the opportunity for himself Tank decided to reach out to his Network and offer the work to other minority carriers he knew. Not long afterwards he would pool together over 500 minority carrier units for UPS and his concept became a reality. With this consortium concept, Tank and his team controls and helps to allocate millions of UPS’s spend to Only black and minority carriers. Tank has plans to replicate this concept with other larger outfits and create more opportunities in the future.
