39 min ยท Streaming since Apr 6, 2026

Julie Andrich didn't grow up planning to run a trucking company. But when her father โ€” a city kid who taught himself farming, failed his way into freight, and built Autumn Transport from a single truck in 1980 โ€” passed away in 2015, Julie stepped into the seat. Now president of a 140-unit bulk carrier out of Woodbury, Minnesota, she shares the full story: where it started, how it grew, and what it means to carry on something bigger than yourself. In this episode, Julie and Jared cover the unique origin story, the owner-operator model that fueled four decades of growth, and the leadership lessons that still echo through the building today. ๐Ÿ”” Subscribe for more bulk trucking stories, industry insight, and carrier spotlights. ๐Ÿ“ฆ Learn more about BulkLoads โ†’ https://www.bulkloads.com/?utm_source=YouTube&utm_medium=Video&utm_campaign=Autumn+Podcast
