Episode 46: Building Trust and Execution in Trucking

In this episode, host Tyler Kivi of Kivi Bros. Trucking takes us on a journey to explore the human side of the trucking industry, focusing on the importance of trust, relationships, and execution in creating a sustainable and successful career. Tyler dives into why building meaningful connections with your team, company, and fellow drivers is the foundation of long-term success, and how these relationships can help you navigate the unique challenges of trucking. Tyler also highlights the critical role of execution, explaining that knowing how to do something isn’t enough - it’s about consistently following through. Whether it’s securing a load, maintaining equipment, or managing permits, attention to detail and action separates great drivers from the rest. He discusses the flexibility Kivi Bros. Trucking offers with cents-per-mile and percentage pay options, giving drivers control over how they earn. The episode also touches on the importance of top-tier equipment and why reliable trucks are essential for a driver’s success. In an industry full of turnover, Tyler challenges the idea of constantly chasing the next opportunity. Instead, he encourages drivers to focus on building relationships, executing small tasks well, and being part of a supportive community that values their contributions. By doing so, drivers can create careers they’re proud of while becoming part of something bigger than themselves.
