11 - BCB Transport's CEO Rick Larkin on why inspirational mentors matter

December 04, 2020 • Blythe Brumleve

Located just outside of Dallas, Texas, Rick Larkin is the CEO of BCB Transport. With near-perfect ratings on sites like Google and Facebook, BCB is known for how well they treat their drivers, promote safety, and reward performance.

He was kind enough to join me along with lifelong friends, John Hearn, K-Boy, and father figure to them all, Mr. Richey. At 90 years old, Mr. Richey is quite an accomplished man and continues to live each day to the fullest. His positive vibes clearly feed off to his son K-boy as well as Rick and John.

Rick can't state enough how important stories like that of Mr. Richey and uses moments like this to share with his team of drivers on their new radio program that broadcasts 24 hours every day, BCB-Live.com.

In this interview, we cover Mr. Richey's accomplishments and how each person from the group drives inspiration from it.
