In this episode of the Trucking for Millennials podcast, we're coming at you from the Texas Trucking Show at the NRG Center in Houston. The event has been a fantastic opportunity to connect with a diverse range of people in the trucking industry, from open deck carriers to industry friends and new acquaintances. We kick off the episode by discussing the vibrant atmosphere of the show and the numerous connections we've made. We then dive into a series of interviews with various industry professionals: Willie Nelson from CDL Life: Willie talks about CDL Life's mission to connect drivers, fleet owners, and owner-operators through their news platform and app. He highlights the importance of community and safety in the trucking industry, especially for women drivers. Rob Carpenter: Rob shares his unique experience of driving a truck to the show and emphasizes the importance of good equipment and driver retention. Justin Lu from Truckpedia: Justin introduces Truckpedia, a TMS that connects trucking companies directly with shippers. He offers valuable advice on how carriers can effectively communicate with shippers and build lasting relationships. Courtney George from Wreaths Across America: Courtney explains the mission of Wreaths Across America to honor veterans by delivering wreaths across the country. She emphasizes the importance of respect and community service in the trucking industry. Dave Olson from Riggie's Truck Parking: Dave discusses the premium services offered at Riggie's Truck Parking locations and the strategic placement of their lots to maximize driver efficiency and safety. Harold Cutler and Jorge Mendoza from Truth in Trucking Podcast: Harold and George talk about their podcast and their expertise in trucking insurance and FMCSA compliance. They highlight the importance of maintaining good safety scores and compliance to keep insurance rates manageable. Throughout the episode, we explore themes of community, safety, respect, and the importance of building strong relationships within the trucking industry. The Texas Trucking Show has provided a rich backdrop for these conversations, and we look forward to continuing to make new friends in freight.
For part three of our Texas Trucking Show Mini Interview series you'll hear from three individuals covering three different aspects of the industry. Gio w/ Clark Freightlines manages their Safety and has an awesome story about he transitioned from architecture to a full time gig in the industry he "couldn't get completely out of". This is another story of how family business keeps professionals in the industry and how Trucking Shows like the Texas Trucking Show attracts and retains talent in the industry. Maria - TaxPro MultiServices is an entrepreneur who listened to her customers needs and pivoted her business to service the trucking industry and help her clients get started. She works close to the port of Houston and has helped many trucking entrepreneurs get their start and help them sustain their success through proper compliance. Dr. Freddy Romero owns A+ Medical Examiners, which focuses 100% on providing affordable and high quality DOT physicals for the trucking and bus industries. In this conversation you'll hear an example of why it's important to focus on a niche and how to remain healthy over the road or over the course of your work day in the office.

I met Shannon Towell at the Love's in Des Moines, Iowa. He saw me working out and assumed I must have been prior military. We ended up hanging out that night and exchanged information. He's been very observant of everything as a new driver and has gone through the ringer of experiences and wants to pass on those do's and don'ts to new drivers. Shannon loves his job, and truly believes that instead of just quitting, he should get the information out there that you really aren't taught and school, and you definitely won't learn with a mega carrier. He wound up working for a shady Eastern European guy who did a lot of off the books illegal stuff. I'll let Shannon tell that story though. He was inspired to start making his own content to document his experiences as well. We cover a lot of ground in this episode, and if you're a newer driver, give it a listen and feel free to reach out. You can find Shannon's podcast on spotify called Skippy's Trucking Show.

Me da mucho gusto presentar la plática que tuve con Jesús Almaguer, quien es el responsable de la organización de dos eventos de nicho, que realiza en los Estados Unidos: la California Trucking Show, y la Texas Trucking show. Él en su familia vivió desde joven la organización de eventos de la industria del transporte pesado en México, y quiso llevar el concepto pero al mercado en Estados Unidos. Me compartió la complejidad que tuvo al inicio, y la diferencia de cómo se vive la cultura de exposiciones en México y en Estados Unidos, tanto por la parte de los expositores como por los visitantes.

DALLAS – The 2020 Great America Trucking Show, which was scheduled for Aug. 27-29 and presented by Randall-Reilly, has been canceled according to a release on the show's website. “The same fears and uncertainties that have led entities as diverse as Facebook and Major League Baseball to cancel or severely curtail in-person events have informed a very difficult decision: Randall-Reilly is canceling the Great American Trucking Show, scheduled for Aug. 27-29, 2020. This decision has been made with the health and well-being of all participants first and foremost in mind,” the release said. The release continued to say that the show's presenters “will use the coming months to determine what form future events take and assess the safeguards needed to ensure your health.” “This pandemic has underscored how critical the industry and drivers are to the well-being of America. The fleets, owner-operators and drivers are what's kept the flow of food and other goods in stores and homes. We are thankful to you, proud of you and will keep you posted on what's next for GATS so we can celebrate you at a future event,” according to the website.
