Larry Cothran transformed a simple commitment into a major trucking media brand through remarkable consistency. He posted video content every day across Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube for over three years without missing once. His discipline generated more than five billion views in a single year, establishing him as a leading content creator in the industry. Before focusing on trucking content, Cothran tested his social media marketing instincts through a barbecue venture that began in 2006 after acquiring a roadside operation. He built the restaurant business through Facebook posts and real-time location updates, eventually opening a brick-and-mortar location in Rome, Georgia. Within 90 days, he elevated the establishment to top ranking across Google, Yelp, TripAdvisor, and Bing. Cothran has driven professionally since 2007, currently running approximately 2,000 miles weekly under a five-year lease arrangement.
