Healthy growth As previously mentioned, a growing percentage of Road to Rail Construction’s work is now coming from existing clients. Moving forward, the company’s vision is to keep upping that percentage. They intend to keep growing – but they want to grow sustainably, Tarren emphasises. “At the end of the day, we want to grow sustainably,” he says. “We don’t just want to grow seasonably. We could grow to 200 employees this summer if we want, then that means you’re laying off 150 employees come wintertime. That’s not what we want to do. We want to grow in a way where we’re bringing people on and keeping them busy year round, and keeping them here for years to come.” Ultimately, Tarren doesn’t believe there’s a ceiling on Road to Rail’s growth, so long as they grow the right way. “This summer, we’re expecting to grow to somewhere between 80to-90 employees,” he reiterates. “We’re able to do that because we already have a core group of 60-to-70. That makes the training a lot easier. It makes it easy to integrate them into our systems and our way of doing things. If we were going from a team of 40 to a team of 80, doing that would be a lot more difficult.” “We want to keep growing in a healthy way,” he concludes. “As long as we can keep doing that, I don’t think there’s any cap.” AUGUST 2025
