Demetrius Martin, CEO 250 Logistics
After finishing trucking school Demetrius landed a position at a local sanitation company making only $500 a week. Soon realizing that would not provide enough financial stability for his family, he took a leap of Faith and invested 12k (borrowed & Saved Funds) into his self. In just 4 short years Demetrius turned 250 Logistics LLC from 1 owner-operator Semi-Truck grossing 8k a week to a Fleet of over 20 Units grossing over 100k weekly. 250 Logistics LLC is now a multi million dollar Family business out of Greenville, SC. Now Demetrius' focus is on expanding the 250 brand. Him and his team have created a platform to teach aspiring entrepreneurs how to start and grow their transportation business. 250 Academy is able to catapult your business to the next level with or without owning a truck.

This dude is a cool brother I met him personally and he offered me a job but he offered me more than a job he offered me a chance to work for him and then told me he would teach me to be a boss of my own
Shout out and salute to the brothers and sisters letting the time serve them and not serving the time… very inspirational and encouraging for those of us being a POW of the federal system

Great interview. I live in Greenville, South Carolina . I don’t know the Gentleman but big Salute.🫡
Yessir sc homie

Love your videos but please got to work on fixing the volume setup with your mic's. I know it is not easy to get a setup that works but many do this same interview style and the random booming volume and then quiet makes it difficult to listen to without constantly touching the volume or putting subtitles on. Maybe a wearable mic on the shirt so moving around does not affect it? Just thought I should share. Keep up the great work and interviews!
Appreciate the feedback Fam
Jeffrey Skilling was in Alabama...I believe that is the Enron exec who gave up the game.
