Manage episode 488497246 series 3449675
#453 What if, instead of spending four years in college, you could build a multimillion-dollar business by age 28? That’s exactly what Andrew Gomez did — starting his trucking company at just 18 years old! In this episode hosted by Kirsten Tyrrel, Andrew shares how he went from dispatching for his brother to financing two trucks and launching AJG Transport while still a teenager. Over the years, he expanded into truck repair, logistics brokerage, government contracting, and even launched a trucking-focused software company. With over 140 drivers and 70 employees, Andrew pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to succeed in an industry known for high turnover and tight margins. From building trust with brokers and shippers to creating a culture of empathy and excellence for his drivers, he drops powerful lessons on resilience, innovation, and leadership that apply to any business. Whether you're 18 or 80, Andrew’s story proves that hustle, heart, and vision can take you further than a degree ever will!
