Have I reminded you lately how important you are? You matter — to your family, to this industry, and to this world. As you roll into this lunch hour, I want you to take a moment to see yourself the way we see you: strong, capable, and worthy of every good thing this life has to offer. Treat yourself with the same respect and care you give to your rig — because your mind and body are the true engines that keep you rolling forward.

It’s the weekend — time to slow down, reset, and wash your brain. In this episode of Beyond the Short, we dive into the power of proper rest — what it really means to “brainwash” yourself the healthy way. When you sleep, your brain goes through a cleaning cycle, flushing out the garbage from the week — the stress, the noise, the clutter. But if you cut that cycle short, it’s like stopping the dishwasher before the dishes are clean or forgetting to take the trash all the way to the curb.

In life, we make countless commitments—to our families, our careers, our communities—but too often, fear creeps in and paralyzes us before we ever lean into those promises.

We live in a world drowning in fitness advice—$800 billion spent each year on programs, supplements, and equipment. Yet Americans remain among the unhealthiest populations on the planet.

Gratitude rode quietly in the passenger seat beside me, steady and unspoken, as I navigated long hours in the cab.

In transportation, silence is part of the job. Hours stretch into days, and the miles roll by with nothing but the hum of the engine and the white lines on the road. Some drivers enjoy the quiet, but for many, that silence becomes something else — a weight. A silent companion called loneliness.”

Sep 11, 2025Send us a text
Every driver knows how to handle 80,000 pounds of steel down the highway—but how well do you handle your own emotions? In this episode of Strength of the Message, we dig into the difference between IQ (your intelligence quotient) and EQ (your emotional intelligence). IQ might help you pass a test, but EQ determines how you manage stress in traffic, resolve conflict with dispatch, handle loneliness on the road, and build lasting relationships at home.
We’ll explore the four core areas of emotional intelligence—self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship manage...

Professional drivers, every mile you roll is another chance to measure your progress—not against the driver in the next lane, but against the driver you were yesterday. Too many of us fall into the trap of comparison: their newer truck, their better route, their bigger paycheck. But comparison is a thief—it robs joy, creates resentment, and distracts you from your lane.
This week, we shift gears from comparison to confidence. Confidence isn’t built by looking at someone else’s miles—it’s built by knowing you’re centered in your lane...
