  • Mile Marker 26 – Chasing Pure Profit: Jamie Hagen on Fuel Efficiency, Mack Trucks, and Building Hell Bent Xpress
    Oct 30 2025

    In this episode of Beyond the Bulldog, we sit down with Jamie Hagen, owner of Hell Bent Xpress and long-time Mack Trucks advocate, to talk about the business, discipline, and data behind running a successful trucking operation. Known for his fleet of Gen One Anthems and now a striking amber-orange Mack Pioneer and his social media presence, Jamie brings an open, practical look at the everyday challenges and rewards of life on the road.

    Jamie discusses:

    -His family roots in trucking and how Hell Bent Xpress was born

    -How he achieves fuel efficiency numbers up to 25% better than the national average

    -The evolution from driver to fleet owner — and what it really takes to grow responsibly

    -How Mack Trucks’ customization and dealer support help fleets succeed

    -The features of his new Pure Profit Pioneer and why it’s changing his business

    With humor, humility, and hard-earned insight, Jamie proves that trucking success is built one penny, one mile, and one relationship at a time.

    Jared breaks down:

    -What drives premium increases and how underwriters assess risk (claims history, CSA profile, routes, driver pool)

    -Practical ways to lower total cost: top-down safety culture, spec and maintenance discipline, dash cams, smarter deductibles

    -Group captives 101: when they fit mid-size fleets, how loss funds work, and why dividends are possible

    -Navigating a volatile market: telling a credible safety story to carriers and avoiding jurisdictional “hellholes”

    -Why cameras protect drivers and accelerate fair claims outcomes

    -Key takeaways from Cottingham & Butler’s Transportation Summit that leaders can apply immediately

    Whether you run 10 trucks or 1,000, this episode gives you actionable strategies to manage risk—not just buy insurance.
