Trucking Mastery: Building a Profitable Business That Lasts is the next evolution of the Trucking Mastery webinar series hosted by industry experts Kevin Rutherford and Brent Hutto. Designed for owner-operators and small fleet owners who have moved beyond their first year, this season focuses on turning trucking into a sustainable, long-term business — not just a job.

Each session delivers practical strategies for increasing profit margins, improving operational efficiency, navigating market cycles, strengthening broker relationships, and preparing your business for growth. Whether your goal is higher income, fewer headaches, or long-term stability, this series will provide the tools and clarity needed to master the business side of trucking.

Kevin Rutherford's Certified Master Carrier (CMC) program has changed my business which pretty much changed my life. After my first CMC I made a promise to myself that I would always come back... I own two trucks and two trailers under my own authority, and I attribute all of that to the CMC.”
