Working Hard to be Lucky: the R. J. Corman Story

"Extraordinary, courageous, undefeated individual."
-Senator Mitch McConnell
Working Hard to be Lucky: The R. J. Corman Story, pays tribute to R. J. Corman’s late founder Richard J. ‘Rick’ Corman. In 1973, shortly after graduating from high school, he began a railroad business with a single backhoe and dump truck in the small town of Nicholasville, Kentucky. This documentary tells the story of how Rick built his company, raised his family and courageously fought a deadly disease. His employees, loved ones and friends took this opportunity to share their accounts of some of the most memorable moments in R. J. Corman history. Today, Rick’s company is one of the most successful railroad service providers in the United States.
