Not all freight markets felt the slowdown the same way—and that’s where specialization matters.
In the most recent episode of Talking Transports, our CEO Julie Andrich sat down with Lee Klaskow at to share how Autumn Transport has stayed strong through one of the toughest freight cycles in decades. Thank you to Lee for the great conversation and opportunity to tell our story.
From bulk commodities to long-term customer relationships, the discussion highlights what sets our model apart:
🚛 Why bulk freight holds steady – Serving essential industries like food, feed, ag, and industrial commodities means demand doesn’t disappear—it evolves.
🌾 Hauling what matters – When you’re moving products that keep supply chains running, consistency and reliability become the standard.
🚆 Intermodal advantage – Leveraging rail alongside trucking creates flexibility, efficiency, and a true competitive edge.
👥 Owner-operator model – Empowering independent contractors has been key to building a strong, service-focused fleet.
⚖️ Regulatory impact – Increased enforcement continues to shape capacity, and being adaptable is more important than ever.
🤖 Investing in the future – From AI to automation, we’re focused on improving workflows and supporting smarter, more efficient operations.
👩💼 Leadership perspective – With over 30 years leading a family-owned business, Julie shares what it takes to stay grounded in values while continuing to grow.
It all comes back to specialization, service, and doing things the right way—every time.
