Hell Bent on Success: Jamie Hagen on the Summer Truckload Turnaround | Nooner With Dooner In this episode host Tim Dooner sits down with Jamie Hagen, owner of Hell Bent Xpress. They kick things off from FreightSpin studio with a look at the freight market two weeks into July. Capacity is tight, fuel prices are volatile, and everyone is excited about the turnaround. Jamie shares his thoughts on whether Secretary Sean Duffy’s efforts to clean up the roads and the landmark Montgomery Supreme Court ruling have had a real impact. Jamie then breaks down how he built his successful 12-truck dry van fleet from the ground up. He explains his approach to treating drivers the right way so they stay, the practical steps he takes to control fuel expenses, and why he is all in on Mack Trucks, including his custom builds. If you run a fleet, drive a truck, or just want straight talk on what is really happening in the truckload market right now, this conversation is for you.
