When you hear words like “hire” or “interview,” what comes to mind? Maybe a nervous applicant fielding questions about their experience—or your own first time in the hot seat. But have you ever wondered what's going through the interviewer's mind? Turns out, they're nervous too—and trying to discern one of the most important decisions any organization can make. In this episode, we sit down with Rick Schmidt, Nussbaum's Senior Director of HR & Safety. Known as a culture leader, people person, chronic misspeller, and a safe space for tough conversations, Rick brings heart and humor to the hiring table. He's spent years across from would-be employees, learning how to move past résumés to uncover the character that really counts. From breaking down conversational barriers to identifying the traits of a great fit, Rick offers practical insights you can start using right away.He also reflects on three pivotal moments that shaped his own journey: the encouragement of an insightful dean, the honesty of a college roommate, and his father's wise advice. Fun fact: Rick began studying biomedical engineering at a small college in Iowa before discovering his true calling—working with people. Press play and enjoy!

What is a temporary mitzvah?
The essence of a vow
“God found me at my worst possible time…..cause He loves [doing] that.” James Fry is living proof that our past doesn't have to define us. Though he's walked many dark valleys, James has become a light for others, eagerly pointing them to a relationship with God. And as a Professional Driver and Road Captain for Nussbaum, he's helping new drivers find their way….he knows what it's like to feel lost. At less than two years old, Child Protective Services found James and his twin brother at home—alone—and terribly sick. After months in the hospital, they entered foster care, and didn't meet their biological father until years later—a painful day that James will never forget. Fast forward to his 20s, and James was at an all-time low. Nothing he tried seemed to work, and he found himself struggling with alcoholism and still bearing the pain of his father's rejection. That's when a kind neighbor invited him to church…… Don't miss this special episode of Terminal Exchange—press play today!

On le sait, dans les années qui viennent, le personnel soignant, y compris les médecins, manquera drastiquement. Selon les statistiques de la FMH (Fédération des médecins helvétiques), un médecin sur quatre est âgé de 60 ans ou plus. Et dans les dix prochaines années, plus de la moitié des praticiens de famille prendront leur retraite. A Colombier, Pierre Krämer, médecin généraliste de 70 ans, prendra sa retraite l'an prochain - et il désespère de ne pas voir arriver la relève.

The definition of Shechita
Oh, to be kids again. Jerrid Knight and James Grier have fond memories of boxing matches, wrestling tournaments, snowball fights—the wholesome fun that brothers enjoy. They also remember broken bones, when James made Jerrid pass out, and trading away a Mickey Mantle baseball card by accident. Live and learn, right? After high school, both brothers joined the military—an experience they credit with instilling the character and discipline that helped them get where they are today. But most of all, they credit God for ordaining a path that challenged them to grow…..and eventually, brought them to Nussbaum Transportation. Today's exchange is packed with stories, from Jerrid playing the Wicked Witch of the West in 4th grade, to James deploying overseas as a newly married Marine. With warmth and candor, our guests remind us that every experience—no matter how challenging—can be a steppingstone in God's ultimate plan. Press play and enjoy!

Caution! You might be a Nussbaum customer by the end of this episode! (actually, that would be a great thing for your business. Go ahead and press play). What's it take to be successful in truckload sales? Wining and dining? The lowest rates? (hint: not that). In today's exchange, we explore five keys to success using the acronym S.A.L.E.S. • S – Strategic Outreach• A – Aligning Internally • L – Long-term Relationships• E – Excellence in Service • S – Sustainable Growth According to Joe, Brent, and Mark, our Business Development Managers, patience and thoroughness underpin everything. To be sure, sales can be fast-paced and exciting! But finding the best customers with the right freight at the right price takes persistence. In addition to prospecting and building customer relationships, our BDMs unpack the “three-legged stool”—the importance of aligning your sales, operations, and pricing teams to find the right business for your network strategy. Checks and balances are critical, as each part brings needed perspective—sales with possibility, pricing with profitability, and operations with feasibility. They also highlight Nussbaum's SalesScope software that enhances collaboration throughout the bidding process. Press play and enjoy!

That's because Mark Burnett transformed the six-time bankruptcy declaring tabloid star into a successful businessman character on the “reality” show The Apprentice.

We often talk about being prepared from more traditional perspectives; self-defense, medical, logistics, or sustainment but theres a whole spectrum of threats that aren't often discussed.

Being more educated on the effects of such threats is very important and it is something that should start to take more notice.

Buckle up for a crash course on the history of transportation and trucking! This (basically) Masters-Level class covers the invention of the wheel in the 4000s BC, the Silk Road, origins of the combustion engine, World War I, and the first semi-trailer in 1910! (Also—apparently Prohibition helped develop the trucking industry??). Next, we'll cover the development of the Interstate Highway System and how the federal government started to regulate transportation. Last but not least, we're covering 1945 to 2025—Nussbaum's 80 years in business! From our humble beginnings with one truck in Fairbury, to the start of our truckload division in 1968, to becoming an ESOP in 2018, we'll hit all the highlights! Our expert tour guide for this adventure is Shawn Reischauer. With a bachelor's degree in Geography and a master's of Divinity, he's a uniquely qualified historian (just trust us on this one). At any rate, today's episode is an entertaining sprint through the history of transportation—aka, the most important technological advancement the world has ever seen. Press play and enjoy!

When Emily Nussbaum introduced Alan Cumming at the New Yorker Festival, she said, “Plenty of actors light up a room, but Alan Cumming is more of a disco ball—reflecting every possible angle of show business.” Cumming appears in mainstream dramas such as “The Good Wife,” and also more indie projects like his one-man version of “Macbeth”; his performances in musicals such as “Cabaret” are legendary. He also owns a nightclub; his memoir “Not My Father's Son” was a bestseller, and so on. And Cumming plays the host on the Emmy-winning reality show “The Traitors.” He combines “a dandy Scottish laird—sort of James Bond villain, sort of eccentric, old-fashioned nut who has this big castle.” Spoiler alert: “It's supposed to be my castle. It's not.” Nussbaum asks about his perspective on reality TV before he started on “Traitors.” “Zero, really,” Cumming confesses. “I was a bit judgy. … The thing I don't like about a lot of those shows is that they laud and therefore encourage bad behavior and lack of kindness.” Before “The Traitors,” Cumming's first brush with reality television was on “Who Do You Think You Are?,” a BBC genealogy program that confronted him with shocking secrets about his own family. “It made a good memoir, I suppose,” he jokes. “Just how awful that was. It was awful. But no, I don't regret it.”
Smile, you're listening to a podcast about Candid Camera. Created by Allen Funt, Candid Camera was America's first prank reality show. A case could be made that this show is responsible for the reality television trend that led to a con man being packaged as a “successful businessman” and is now pranking America as prez.

“I was just a lost, hurt soul….trying to find my way, and I just couldn't.” That's how Teresa describes the lowest moment of her life—homeless and hopeless as a single mom, bouncing from shelter to shelter, even fighting a legal battle for her son. But the seed of faith—planted years before by her grandfather—carried her through the storm. “The only thing I knew to do was pray…..I knew that He was there…..God never leaves you,” Teresa says. And just at the right moment, she got the chance to attend CDL School on a full-ride grant—the first step towards a new life. The past few years have been a journey, but Teresa points to God's faithfulness again and again. With the help of generous friends and a praying community around her, Teresa found her way—out of homelessness, into trucking, and eventually to Nussbaum. Press play to hear the full, candid conversation and be reminded that, however dark it may seem, God hears and answers prayer. FROM TODAY'S PODCAST• Guest: Teresa Kundrata, Professional Driver, and son Gracion• Quotes: o “I had the most amazing grandfather….he lived for the Lord. When we were little, he just never stopped planting the seed and instilling God's love and forgiveness.” o “I said, I'm gonna get my CDL but I don't know where to start.” o “My transmission went out on my car…..so I went to the school and said ‘I gotta drop out'….the school goes, ‘we're not gonna let you. We're gonna help you.'” o “Isn't this God's love right here!? We literally were carried all the way until the end, and we still are.” o “I'm going to Erlanger, Kentucky, and I see the trailer that changed my life—Forgiveness Brings Freedom.” o “The first year [at Nussbaum] was hard for me….adjusting to people that care.
