Turning Lemons into Lemonade: The Resilient Story Behind All American Sod and Cashfreight.com
Every business has a story, but the journey of Kirk Harris, Easton Harris, and their family is one of extraordinary resilience and innovation. From devastating natural disasters to groundbreaking solutions that changed their industries, the Harris family has transformed adversity into opportunity time and time again. Their story, as shared on the Sharkfarmer Podcast, highlights their triumphs, including the creation of Super Soil USA, a thriving gravel company, and Cashfreight.com, a revolutionary freight platform.
A Semi-Truck Crash and the Birth of Cashfreight.com
A devastating semi-truck rollover became another pivotal moment, shedding light on inefficiencies in the freight and logistics industry. At the time, Kirk Harris was deeply involved in arranging freight for All American Sod, relying on brokers and intermediaries to transport their products. The process was frustrating, expensive, and often inefficient.
This challenge sparked an idea that would change the freight industry forever: a platform to simplify logistics by connecting shippers and carriers directly. Drawing on their experiences, the Harris family developed Cashfreight.com, an innovative freight management platform that eliminates brokers and middlemen, saving time and money for both shippers and carriers.
With tools like LoadAssist™, OfferUp/OfferDown™, and PowerPay™, Cashfreight.com empowers users to take control of their freight operations. The platform is a game-changer, transforming a fragmented industry into one that’s more transparent, efficient, and cost-effective.
A Devastating Flash Flood
In 2018, All American Sod in Richfield, Utah, faced one of its greatest challenges—a catastrophic flash flood that devastated over 300 acres of sod. Years of hard work seemed lost as the flood left behind a mountain of debris, gravel, and damaged fields. The future of the family farm hung in the balance.
But the Harris family didn’t give up. Instead of letting the disaster define them, they turned the flood’s destruction into a new opportunity. Using the debris and materials left behind, they established Super Soil USA, a company that transforms flood remnants into decorative rock, topsoil, compost, and more. Today, Super Soil USA is a thriving business that helps customers across Utah improve their landscapes while diversifying the family’s income streams.
This transformation is a testament to the Harris family’s creativity, hard work and determination. What once seemed like the end became a foundation for growth, proving that resilience and innovation can turn any disaster into success.
From Challenges to Triumphs
From drought to economic down turns, crashes and floods, the Harris family’s journey is defined by their ability to turn hardships into opportunities. Each obstacle—whether it was the flood, the semi-truck crash, or inefficiencies in freight—pushed them to think creatively and find solutions that benefited their business and their community.
Super Soil USA: Born from flood debris, this top soil, gravel, compost and soil company provides high-quality landscaping materials to customers across Utah.
