Their stories are honest. Their lessons are hard-earned. And their examples remind us that the strongest companies are not built on equipment, technology, or strategy alone.They are built on people.We are deeply grateful to the incredible leaders who shared their stories and wisdom:Catherine Ezzell-Joyner, Ezzell TruckingElise Johnson, Leonard's ExpressBrooklyn Keizer, Keizer CompaniesGarrett Knollman, Transmark LogisticsCollin Kottke, Kottke TruckingEd Nagle, Nagle CompaniesJohn Pemberton, Pemberton Truck LinesMary Schaupp, LCL TransitTogether, their experiences reveal what it takes to build organizations that endure across generations.Our hope is that these stories inspire founders, leaders, entrepreneurs, and future generations to build cultures rooted in purpose, values, and human connection.Because in the end, businesses are not powered by trucks, trailers, buildings, or technology.They are powered by people.#PoweredByPeople #Leadership #Legacy #Trucking
