Episode 61: Behind the Blitz: How Safety, Storytelling, and Strategy Drive Our Renewal Season

In this episode of Keep Trucking Personal, Tyler Kivi walks us through what the DOT Blitz really means: not just for inspections, but for the bigger picture of running a safe, successful fleet. As the blitz kicks off, Tyler shares what’s at stake during insurance renewal season and why it’s about more than numbers on a page. He opens up about a recent conversation with a former driver who wanted to come back, and how that call turned into a teachable moment about accountability, growth, and doing what’s right even when it’s hard. You’ll hear about the difference between MVR and PSP reports, how storytelling shapes insurance outcomes, and why investing in things like height poles and pre-trip routines really matters. Tyler also takes a moment to celebrate the moms who keep this industry, and our lives, moving. It’s a real, thoughtful episode about leading with integrity, standing for safety, and always staying connected to the people behind the wheel.
