McDonald’s Made This Truck Mechanic a Millionaire

When Joseph Puzur took over his dad’s truck repair business it was making around $30,000 in annual revenue. Now, it’s a $1 million a year business—and considering Joseph’s just 24, it’s got the potential to grow even further. You’ll learn how he grew his trucking business in this episode.

As a teenager, Joseph was more interested in getting a job than sitting in a classroom. He dropped out of school when he was 15 and went right to work in his dad’s truck shop. That proved to be a smart move and he quickly developed a passion for truck repair.

Of course, no business reaches a 7-figure revenue overnight. AD Truck Service grew slowly but steadily during Joseph’s first 5 years in the business. Moving to a new, larger shop and integrating better systems to delegate work helped propel their trucking business to the next level. He’ll explain his approach to leading the company and how they grew their customer base mostly through word-of-mouth advertising to reach their current profitability.

AD Truck Service’s profit margins are impressive, too. Their 30% margins are above the industry standard, largely because of the volume of work they’re able to do. In this interview, he’ll share which jobs are the most profitable and how they work faster (and for less) than their competition while still maintaining a high revenue.
