Episode 129: Draw the Line!
Tyler is back from a packed weekend at the Minnesota State Fair , where Kivi Bros Trucking had one of its 13-axle setups on display hauling a massive 160,000-pound dipper bucket. Between talking with drivers, answering questions from fairgoers, and showing off the incredible work of the Kivi Bros team and fab shop, the weekend was a great reminder of just how much skill, teamwork, and hard work go into what we do every day. With National Truck Driver Appreciation Week coming up September 13-19, Tyler shares some of what Kivi Bros Trucking has planned and, most importantly, takes a moment to thank the professional drivers who keep this company and this country moving. But he also has a challenge for drivers heading into the week: draw a line in the sand. If you've been coasting, putting off the phone call, waiting for the right opportunity, or telling yourself you'll do it tomorrow, this is your chance for a fresh start. Hard work isn't about driving tired, breaking hours of service, or sacrificing everything else in your life. It's about being intentional, prepared, willing to practice, communicating well, and taking action when an opportunity is in front of you. You can't control the freight market, the weather, or every customer you encounter, but you can control the work you're willing to put in. Draw the line, kick the dirt off your boots, and get to work.
