Rebuilding: From bulk dedicated to a solid core of direct customers with independent Tim Klaus

Independent owner-operator and longtime flatbedder Tim Klaus re-entered trucking early in the last decade and soon enough found himself at the center of the natural gas drilling boom, hauling frac sand. It dried up earlier for him than many owner-ops, but since then he's made several moves in his pick of freight, trailer spec and more to build a core of direct customers that keeps his brokered loads down to just several annually. The Missouri-based owner-op runs through those details, and some of his family's long trucking history, in this Overdrive Radio edition.
