Greatest Hits – You Won’t Believe How Will Hopkins Turned Beach Chairs and Dispatch Notes into a 40-Person Logistics Company
We’re bringing back a standout episode from Freight Nation: A Trucking Podcast featuring Will Hopkins, co-founder of BlackBox Logistics.
In this conversation, Will Hopkins shares how a job dispatching trucks gave him the foundation to launch BlackBox Logistics, a full-scale brokerage that started with no backup plan and grew to over 40 employees in just four years. From throwing hay bales on a horse farm to dispatching in a sweltering Alabama room during COVID, Will’s journey is a testament to hustle, resilience, and finding purpose in every odd job along the way. He also opens up about the tough lessons of scaling a company, the importance of partnership, and why dispatching taught him to love the grind.
If you missed this the first time, now’s your chance to hear how Will turned an unconventional path into a fast-growing brokerage built on trust, teamwork, and a dispatch mindset.
