I reread the article and it’s still not clear to me what he does exactly. It’s explained as a transportation company, but as the article progresses, we’re told that farmers “depend on Mr. Yokoyama for tasks like harvesting hay and clearing snow” and “17 employees tend to 3,000 head of cattle, and Mr. Yokoyama’s company fills in the gaps.” so it seems they’re doing a lot, yes.

On the transportation business, it has a reputation of being cutthroat, and bigger national players like Yamato / Sagawa have had a lot of trouble recruiting despite the booming business coming from e-commerce.

It’s kinda tough any angle we look at it…
