Beating Freight Fraud: Adam Goes to Congress + His $65M Asset/Brokerage Playbook

Before they even found Alvys, Stevens Trucking discovered a tech-driven strategy that changed everything for their drop-and-hook efficiency, and in this episode of Freight People, Cole Stevens breaks it all down.

Carlos Llanes Jr. walks us through his bold journey from musician to Marine to multi-million-dollar logistics founder—growing Spartan Carrier from $0 to $54M in just over 3 years, with no outside funding. But this isn't just a business success story, It’s a story of purpose, grit, faith, and building something bigger than money.

In episode 2, Ava Barnes sits down with Alvys product pros Jordan Kidd and Lucas Allasia who’ve both done it all in trucking: dispatch, recruiting, brokerage, you name it. They’ve lived the chaos and now help carriers run smarter with modern tech.

In this episode, we sit down with the family behind Central Coast Transport — a thriving cross-border refrigerated carrier that’s redefining how fleets operate across the U.S. and Mexico.
