Dirtlife: From Farm Kid to Dirt Boss with Justin Brilman

Justin Brilman, president of Sub-Terrain Excavating & Trucking Ltd., walks through how he built his business from the dirt up in this Pushysix Dirtlife Podcast episode.

From early ag projects to complex feedlot developments and now branching into commercial work, Justin Brilman’s story is real, relatable, and gritty. He talks about what makes farm kids some of the best operators in the game, how learning by watching shaped his skills, and why passion beats a certificate any day.

He also gets into how he’s using Leica machine control to make his jobs faster, cleaner, and more accurate. No more grade sticks, no more waiting on surveyors, just one operator, a screen in the cab, and precision from start to finish. He even shares how GPS data is helping keep feedlot jobs efficient, safe, and future proof.

If you’re in the dirt world or thinking of getting into it, this one’s a masterclass in building something from scratch, adapting with the times, and leading with experience over ego.
