Kiara Ellis was operating heavy equipment in an Australian mine when she saw an Instagram post, dropped her number, and booked a flight to Canada the next day. Now she co-runs Kodiak Transport, a Calgary-based hotshot and industrial freight company serving the construction industry and manufacturers across Alberta and Western Canada.
She joins Gregg Hinton to talk about the leap that brought her here, the first-year fears nobody warns you about, and the hidden costs of small-truck freight — $4,000/month insurance, $2.50/litre diesel, and a –35°C job where they chained a frozen tractor to two trucks rather than leave a seller stranded.
Honest, funny, and full of ”%$#! around and find out” wisdom on starting something of your own.
