The Road to Growth
BLC Transportation owner and president, Brent Forbes, made the transition from farming to hauling hay back in 1999. He soon learned how much he enjoyed driving and went to work for IWX, traveling a route from Springfield, Mo., to Kingman, Az. Shortly after, Brent purchased his own truck and started driving himself. “I thought, ‘This is easy, anybody can do this,’” Brent says.
But after purchasing three more trucks, he quickly found out it wasn’t quite so easy after all. His drivers were tearing up equipment and burning through fuel. “There’s got to be a better way,” he thought.
It was around this time Brent met someone who introduced him to the leasing program. He partnered with Prime soon after and brought over three of his 12 trucks to the leasing pioneer. Steady growth followed.
Since starting in 2007, Brent has expanded BLC Transportation from just three trucks to approximately 100. Yet he is far from finished. Brent has plans to continue growing the company well into the future.
