In this episode, Lindsey sit down with Bryan Boyd, Senior National Account Manager at Hendrickson, who shares his 26-year journey from the shop floor to managing relationships with top 100 fleets. Bryan reflects on Hendrickson’s "big company, small feel" culture and how training and development—especially for Gen Z—have been vital to retention and growth.
We dive into Hendrickson’s recent presence at the Technology Student Association (TSA) national conference, where they engaged with thousands of students curious about engineering, trades, and careers in trucking. Bryan highlights the surprise many students had when learning about the high-tech side of manufacturing, including robotic welding and CNC machining, and the value of early hands-on exposure through TSA competitions.
This episode is a call to action for the trucking industry: Show up. Represent. Educate. The future workforce is interested—but they need to see what’s possible.
