How Two Drivers Built a Successful Trucking Business with Path to Ownership

For Expediter Services community members Maxwell Belin and Jalyssa Campbell, trucking isn’t just a career, it’s family.

Growing up around drivers, both Maxwell and Jalyssa saw firsthand how the industry could provide stability and opportunity. Following in the footsteps of family members they both spent time behind the wheel of buses, but eventually found themselves wanting more control over their time, income, and future. Trucking offered that next step, one they decided to take together.

From Family Roots to the Trucking Industry

As a brother-sister team with Forward Air, they’ve built a rhythm that goes beyond simply sharing miles. Alternating driving shifts, they keep each other moving forward, literally and figuratively. While their time together in the cab may be brief between handoffs, their bond shows up in the trust, humor, and support they bring to the road every day.

Why They Left a Traditional Lease Purchase Program

That support became even more important after a tough experience in a traditional lease-purchase program early in their journey. Facing inconsistent income and financial strain, they made the decision to step away, but not alone. Through a connection on the road, they discovered ES and its Path to Ownership (PTO) program, giving them a second chance to pursue their goals the right way.

By taking advantage of ES’s “try it before you buy it” approach, Maxwell and Jalyssa rebuilt their confidence and their business. Today, they enjoy consistent earnings, operational support during challenges, and the flexibility to prioritize family when it matters most.

What “Never Stand Alone” Looks Like on the Road

Their story is a powerful reminder of what it means to Never Stand Alone. Whether it’s family in the passenger seat or a community backing you every mile, success in trucking is stronger when it’s shared.
