They discuss how the technician shortage, EV mandates, and rapid tech evolution are reshaping the landscape — and how NAFA is preparing fleet professionals to meet these challenges head-on.Whether you're new to fleet or a seasoned pro, this episode is a rallying cry to get involved, stay educated, and build your network. It's a must-listen for anyone who cares about the future of fleet.✅ Key TakeawaysNAFA's Local Networking Revamp: Over 100 in-person meetups in 2023, reviving community post-COVID. Modernized Education: New online Fleet 101 courses and certification programs with real interactivity and adult-learning principles. Job Task Analysis: Ongoing commitment to updating NAFA's certification based on real fleet roles and industry shifts. Technician Support: Advocacy for better technician pay, recognition programs, and career path visibility. Government Advocacy: Expanded state-level involvement to support common-sense legislation for fleet professionals. Fleet as an Underdog: Why fleet often operates behind the scenes, and how initiatives like the 100 Best Fleets bring overdue recognition.

We all see people doing stupid, inconsiderate, or just plain rude things every day. What do we do it about? Should we call these people out or should we bite our tongues? We'll discuss that in today's main topic. But the show is also jam-packed with news stories, including some recalls, some autonomous truck stuff, some good news for diabetic truckers, and more thoughts about dash cams. We’ll also talk about naughty booters and some even naughtier truckers. And I’ll tell you a couple of ways you can get your voice heard to make trucking driving a better job. We’ll also talk about what makes a good trucking company and of course, the death of a trucking icon. Driver Dave sent in a unique Trucker Grub segment and in the feedback section we hear from Ali, who has a tailgating tale, Tim is considering a switch from IT to trucking, and Anthony’s "oddest question I’ve ever received" leads to a discussion of truck driving schools.

Jane Jazrawy co-founded CarriersEdge in Canada in 2005. Three years later, this firm partnered with the Truckload Carriers Association to establish the Best Fleets to Drive For program that recognizes top firms in Canada, Mexico, and the United States. Under her leadership, CarriersEdge also offers valuable resources for trucking companies that will improve the overall quality of drivers who work for them. A former schoolteacher, Jazrawy came into the trucking industry with a desire to provide in-service and educational opportunities delivered in ways that allowed drivers to maximize their time on the road and not have to sacrifice their weekends in a classroom setting. “What we decided to do was try to start a conversation about HR practices. We were modeling it after Fortune 100 best workplaces . . . because we noticed that there wasn't any trucking company on those lists.” - Jane Jazrawy What you’ll learn about in this episode: How a former middle school teacher transitioned into an advocate for computer-based education opportunities during the 1990s and saw the potential of web-based education and training in the trucking industry by the early 2000s The significance of offering regulatory training and continuing education in a way that keeps truckers on the road instead of diverting them to physical classrooms Ways that training, human resource practices, and other elements can raise the stature of working within the trucking industry when compared with other industries The growing significance of women within the trucking industry The important steps of the "Best Fleets to Drive For" process that assesses talent in transportation companies that recruit top-notch drivers through: 1. Driver nomination, 2. Answering of a 100-question questionnaire that focuses on all aspects of business, 3. Detailed interview that thoroughly goes over the questionnaire, and 4. Analyzing data to see which companies are best to drive for How sharing best practices within the industry improves things overall The significance of understanding the culture within a company, especially when looking at how culture impacts retention with and overall perceptions of the company The importance of determining what companies are doing to promote best practices such as high-quality training How obtaining constructive evaluations from outside of the company provides important feedback that allows the company to improve its practices Ways to contact Jane: Website: www.carriersedge.com/press-room LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/jane-jazrawy-44123b4 Twitter: @CarriersEdge
