The Remarkable Rise of Kierra Henderson, the Trucking Guru
How Kierra Henderson Built Her Multimillion-Dollar Empire KEEP ON TRUCKING
To achieve business success, is education necessary? Not always! Many entrepreneurs without formal education have left a mark on their respective industries and started businesses such as Apple, Facebook, Google, and Virgin Group. And Kierra Henderson, better known as the Trucking Guru, has recently added her name to the list of prominent successful entrepreneurs who never finished high school. Henderson faced adversity countless times during her youth, dropped out of high school, became a teen mom, and found herself in trouble with the law. To give herself and her daughter a chance at a better future, she turned her life around and was hired by a local AT&T store.
However, the company outsourced her job overseas, leaving Henderson scrambling to find something new. A friend told her to get into the trucking industry. She knew nothing about trucking but figured it was worth a shot. She lied on her resume, claiming to have a degree and even making up a former employer to make herself more hireable. This company didn’t look into Henderson’s background and offered her the job. Unfortunately, the work was more difficult than Henderson anticipated. She messed up continually but was determined to keep the job and worked to improve. Before she knew it, she had earned an operations manager position with the same company. Eventually, she learned how to dispatch and started doing it on her own time. After she raised enough funds, she bought a truck and
partnered with a trucking company to bring in more money. One truck became two trucks, and two trucks quickly became four. Today, Henderson’s fleet consists of 116 trucks and has brought in more than $100 million. In 2021, she launched The Truckin’ Millionaires Tour, where she offered training and coaching to educate people on self- sufficiency in the trucking industry. She even hosted a huge convention in Dallas in October 2023 called the TTG Fest, featuring over 13 guest speakers who discussed trucking, the transportation industry, and entrepreneurship. Henderson’s story proves your past does not determine your future. Even if you dropped out of school, made mistakes, and found yourself in legal trouble, you can still turn it around, find a new passion, and reach new levels of success. Don’t let any obstacle block your progress!
In this position, she won several awards and regularly earned management’s recognition.
