Check Out Brittney Richardson ’s Story

Today we’d like to introduce you to Brittney Richardson.

Hi Brittney, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
Omg where to start? I started driving a semi 12 years ago after leaving a law enforcement and fire rescue career. I decided to purchase a semi in 2019, but before it was paid off, I lost my business contract due to online attacks. Someone started a rumor about me online that I was transgender, which led to bomb threats and many death threats on me and my family. This escalated to the point that the company I was contracting with decided it was safer to discontinue our contracts because they were worried someone would attack them because of me. I was left without work and a $ 1,000-a-week truck payment. I also lost a $250,000 cash flow from the business contract. I turned to my fans for help; we had 42 Million weekly viewers on social media. The fans stepped up to support us. Facing the risk of losing the truck, which our social media was based on, I drove to Chicago with my husband, and we purchased a Police SUV. We drove it back to Kansas and wrapped it in Pink and a Breast Cancer Awareness ribbon on the side. We started a Roadside Assistance Company (Midwest Road Rescue) with it where we can help the community and also raise awareness for breast cancer. We’re hoping to add a pink tow truck next spring! We have grown our team to 3 road techs and a dispatcher and plan to add 2 others soon! We also film it as a Reality Show on social media, TheBreTV. We take viewers into the day-to-day business of Road Rescue and raise awareness for Cancer Research. Thanks to viewers stepping up on social media and calling out the former company for discontinuing our trucking contract, another company reached out and wanted to save the semi-truck! Artur Express wanted to stand with me against the hate and purchased the truck from the other company, then financed it back to us. There’s so much more to this story; it’s a story of harassment as a Woman in business and the lengths some companies go to to support us! This is a video I did, like a Netflix documentary on what happened. It’s easier to watch it and see what transpired: https://youtu.be/HxiuPo4vjQ4?si=hF9O4-CmMkz12RMd.

We all face challenges, but looking back, would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Severe cyberstalking, false accusations, and death threats for being a woman in transportation, the hardest thing to overcome is who wants to do business with someone who gets harassed constantly. The first question when I turn for help to fight the harassment is, “What did you do to instigate this?” In reality, I did nothing. I was harassed by men who didn’t want me at the company; those guys then started rumors that led to threats on my family. I then reported it to the Police and took legal action against them, which fueled the hatred more. More in their circles started harassing them, and we sent more attorneys after them. This is when the threats escalated, including threats to dismember my body if I didn’t leave social media immediately. I was contacted by other women who were harassed as well and left their careers in fear. What I did differently was stand up to the hate and use my previous law enforcement experience to find and shut down the ones doing this.

Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I’m the Owner and CEO of Midwest Load Solutions LLC, Midwest Road Rescue, and TheBreTV. I have truly turned lemons into lemonade; that best sums it up.

Is there any advice you’d like to share with our readers who might just be starting?
Learn as much as possible; the average successful CEO reads 12 books yearly. Learn everything you can about the area you wish to venture into. That said, you can’t know everything. Some things must be learned as you do them, so don’t be afraid to take action. Odds of Success consist of 3 factors: Knowledge, Skill, and chance (Luck); knowledge and skill you can control, and chance you cannot. Your odds are 50/50 in that category; the best you can do is count cards, read the situation, and double down when you believe the odds are north of 50% in your favor. If you do these things, your likelihood of success will be great!
