In our series Level Up for 2025, we’re talking to major voices in the trucking industry to get their real-world advice for running a successful business. In this latest blog, you’ll hear from fleet owner and educator Alix Burton. Alix started his trucking company in 2013 without much previous experience in the transportation industry. Though his first year in operation was filled with ups and downs, Alix has been able to continually grow his fleet since then. Today, Alix operates a successful, 12-truck fleet and dispatch service based out of the Atlanta area. Alix is also the CEO and founder of Good Energy Worldwide, which offers courses on dispatching and how to start and operate a successful trucking business.
