As a professional driver, have you ever struggled with the idea of being coached by someone who has never sat in that seat? Never driven a truck or been through the difficulties of being a professional driver? While those people can be helpful for some questions, sometimes you just need to hear from someone who really knows the ropes. For Nussbaum drivers, that’s where Jeff King, Mike Vanyzendoorn, and Maya Hernandez step in. These three active Nussbaum drivers are excited to build new relationships with other drivers and share their experience as our newest driver performance coaches. 5 Years as a Best Fleet to Drive For Congratulations to all of our Nussbaum Family! High five the person next to you and tell them great job! Why? Because thanks to all of your efforts, Truckload Carriers Assocation and Carriers Edge have named Nussbaum a 2019 Best Fleet to Drive For. This is the 5th year IN A ROW that we have received this honor! This could not happen without all of the Nussbaum family: drivers, operations, HR, maintenance, accounting, and everyone in between working together to make Nussbaum a great place to work and a Best Fleet to Drive For! The Veteran As a military and trucking veteran who has been in the industry since the late 70s, it’s safe to say that Jeff King has been “around the block.” Jeff’s experience goes beyond driving. With 8 years running CDL schools also under his belt, he’s well equipped to guide new drivers and build into the skills of experienced drivers. “I’ve worn a lot of different hats in this industry.” The Counselor “How do I get better, and how do I help others be better?” Mike Vanyzendoorn’s experience as both a driver and pastor have equipped him to work close with people. He loves to hear their stories, share their experiences, and see what lessons lie within that he can help bring to the surface. The Prodigy As the “Nussbaum baby,” Maya Hernandez is excited to share her perspective as a driver who has “grown up” within the Nussbaum system. Maya brings fresh ideas and an open heart to the table. As you talk to Maya you will quickly see how her quick learning, passion, perspective, and desire to forge relationships are why we call her “The Prodigy”. “I am a big relationship person and I am excited to learn from other drivers as well as maybe give a little insight.” Quotes “Peers helping, assisting, building up, developing, and coaching other peers. That’s what we’re going for [with performance coaches]” – Jeremy Stickling“I’ve done my fair share of habits coaching and I always marvel that anyone cares at all what I say because I’ve never done it.” – Jeremy Stickling“If we’re going to be effective at developing other drivers, our best resource is those who are succeeding at driving currently.” – Jeremy Stickling“How do I get better, and how do I help others be better?” – Mike Vanyzendoorn“I like talking to drivers and learning what their experiences are.” – Mike Vanyzendoorn“I love talking with drivers. What comes out of drivers is stories. Usually they are bad stories, but you usually learn from those stories. If you listen well, it does come out with a benefit.” – Mike Vanyzendoorn“One of my favorite things is talking to drivers that have 30, 20, however many years of experience it is.” – Maya Hernandez“I am a big relationship person and I am excited to learn from other drivers as well as maybe give a little insight.”- Maya Hernandez“I’ve worn a lot of different hats in this industry.” – Jeff King “I enjoy watching [drivers] grow, reach their potential, and it’s not just me helping them, I learn from them. I get to grow my experience and give something back to an industry that’s been very good.” – Jeff King Links Best Fleets to Drive ForDave RamseyChris HoganRachel Cruze

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
