But when her father — a city kid who taught himself farming, failed his way into freight, and built Autumn Transport from a single truck in 1980 — 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 gritty origin story, the owner-operator model that fueled four decades of growth, and the leadership lessons that still echo through the building today. 🔔 Subscribe for more bulk trucking stories, industry insight, and carrier spotlights. 📦 Learn more about BulkLoads → https://www.bulkloads.com ⏱️ Chapters: 0:00 – Intro 0:02 – How Autumn Transport Started: A City Kid Tries Farming 1:21 – One Truck, One Banker, One Chance 2:02 – From Harvest Trucking to a Real Business 3:09 – What Kind of Guy Was Lol Andrich? 4:40 – Julie's Path Into the Company (She Didn't Plan It) 8:55 – Dispatching, Max, and Getting Street Cred with Drivers 14:29 – Growth from 75 Units in '95 to 140 Today 16:57 – The Transition: When Julie Took the Helm 21:48 – Playing Offense, Not Defense 23:55 – Finding the Right People: Values Over Experience 26:13 – A Day in Julie's Life 29:36 – What the Next 20 Years Look Like 31:29 – What Keeps Her Up at Night (Nuclear Verdicts) 33:07 – Faith, Peace, and Running a Business 34:16 – Lol's Lolisms: Wisdom from Her Father 37:20 – Julie's Mom: Still Running Payroll BulkLoads - https://www.bulkloads.com/?utm_source=YouTube&utm_medium=Video&utm_campaign=Autumn+Podcast BulkLoads Permitting - https://www.bulkloads.com/t…","meta_description":"Watch the YouTube Video Here: https://youtu.be/t4i4jJeppwM Julie Andrich didn't grow up planning to run a trucking company.
