Episode 74: Breaking Down the Us vs. Them Mindset in Trucking

In this episode of the Keep Trucking Personal podcast, Tyler Kivi, of Kivi Bros. Trucking, digs into one of the most persistent and damaging divides in the trucking industry: the “drivers vs. office” mentality. Tyler challenges both sides to rethink assumptions, rebuild trust, and commit to communication that strengthens the entire team. From the golden days when a handshake was as good as a contract, to the current climate of skepticism and poor follow-through, Tyler explores how culture has shifted and what it will take to get back to a foundation of trust. He shares why honest feedback, even when it stings, is one of the most valuable tools for personal and professional growth. If you’ve ever thought there was the tension between the road and the office, this is for you. It’s time to drop the “us vs. them” mindset and remember we’re all driving toward the same destination: getting the load there, safely and on time.
