Doug Hayden

I'm an entrepreneur, salesman, and storyteller. I founded Over-Road Transport, a multi-million dollar freight business, built it from cold calls and sheer persistence, and have spent decades learning what it really takes to win in business and life. Today I'm working on my memoir — Memoirs of a Salesman, Father, and Entrepreneur — an honest look at the choices, failures, and moments of grace that shaped who I am. I also created Data Driven Shipping and a Udemy course on freight consulting. At the core of everything I do is one question: Did I live the life I was meant to live?

I'm Doug Hayden, founder of Over-Road Transport, a multi-million dollar freight business I built from cold calls and sheer persistence. I learned sales the hard way, 50 calls a day, and spent decades figuring out what it really takes to win in business and life. Now I'm writing Memoirs of a Salesman, Father, and Entrepreneur, an honest look at the choices, failures, and moments of grace that shaped me. I also created Data Driven Shipping and teach freight consulting on Udemy.

Ask me about building a freight business, cold calling and sales, and what I've learned from winning and losing in business.
