Episode 64: The Real Reason to Stay the Course in Trucking: Trust, Tenure, and Truth

In this episode of Keep Trucking Personal, host Tyler Kivi dives deep into what it truly means to “treat drivers like family.” Inspired by Galatians 6:9: “Let us not grow weary in doing good…,” Tyler reflects on a social media post from a driver who’s worked at 14 companies in just 7 years. With honesty and vulnerability, he unpacks the frustrations many drivers face and explores the deeper impact of trust, tenure, and staying the course in the trucking industry. Tyler challenges both drivers and companies to move beyond buzzwords and start building real relationships: the kind that lead to long-term success, stronger communication, and a true sense of belonging. He shares how longevity unlocks better loads, better pay, and mutual respect, and why family isn’t something you say; it’s something you build. This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating the highs and lows of trucking, whether you’re behind the wheel or leading a fleet.
