Summary

Some leaders grow companies. Others build systems that scale long after they step away. 🚚 Jason Nesbitt, President & Founder of Trucking Proz, has spent more than 25 years doing both. From launching and scaling multiple organizations to leading one of North America’s top fleets, Jason has survived experiences across truckload, refrigerated freight, cross-border operations, and complex supply chain environments. Nate Johnson and Jason Nesbitt touch on what it really takes to build (and protect) a transportation company in today’s environment: 👉 Navigating a freight recession with discipline 👉 Making decisions based on numbers over emotion 👉 Building teams with the right mix of personalities At its core, this episode is about more than transportation. If you’re focused on building a transportation company that holds under pressure, this conversation goes deeper than the "what-if's". It’s about leadership under pressure, operational discipline, and building something that actually works...day in and day out.
