  • Episode 120: The Strongest Trucking Company Starts with People
    Jun 30 2026

    As we head into the Fourth of July, Tyler Kivi takes a step back for a candid conversation about where Kivi Bros Trucking has been and where it's headed.

    After spending nearly six weeks in Duluth alongside drivers, mechanics, safety, operations, and office teams, Tyler reflects on the value of being present, building relationships, and seeing the work firsthand. It's a reminder that great companies aren't built through dashboards and reports alone... they're built by people who care about each other and take pride in what they do.

    In this episode of the Keep Trucking Personal podcast, Tyler shares why Kivi Bros Trucking is focused on becoming the strongest trucking company. That means investing in safety, service, trust, great customers, and, most importantly, great people.

    Whether you're behind the wheel, supporting drivers from the office, or cheering someone on at home, this episode is a thank you to everyone helping move the industry forward.

  • Episode 119: Let It Go: Don't Let Yesterday's Baggage Steer Your Future
    Jun 23 2026

    In this episode of the Keep Trucking Personal podcast, Tyler Kivi reflects on Father's Day, the importance of staying connected with the people who matter most, and a challenge many drivers face both on and off the road: carrying old baggage into new opportunities. Whether it's a broken promise from a previous employer, a bad experience with a dispatcher, or feeling unappreciated for your hard work, those frustrations can follow you from company to company if you let them.

    Tyler shares why holding onto past disappointments can become more damaging than the original experience itself, and how approaching new opportunities with suspicion and resentment can prevent you from finding the success, relationships, and career growth you're looking for. He encourages drivers to learn from past lessons without carrying the weight of them forever, reminding listeners that not every company, manager, dispatcher, or opportunity is the same. If you're constantly expecting disappointment, you'll likely find it - but if you're willing to start fresh, you may discover something better than you imagined.

    This episode is a great reminder to stop letting yesterday's wounds dictate tomorrow's possibilities. Learn the lesson, keep the wisdom, and leave the baggage behind. Your future deserves more attention than your past deserves your anger.

  • Episode 118: Glass Half Full: Why Perspective Matters in Trucking
    Jun 16 2026

    This week on the Keep Trucking Personal podcast, Tyler Kivi shares a simple but powerful challenge: stop looking for reasons to complain and start looking for reasons to compliment. After spending the summer connecting with drivers face-to-face, Tyler noticed a pattern... people tend to fall into one of two camps. They're either focused on opportunities and gratitude, or they're focused on problems and frustration.

    The truth is, everyone in trucking faces the same challenges: freight markets, fuel prices, weather, regulations, and the daily demands of the job. What often separates the happiest people from the most frustrated isn't their circumstances, it's their perspective. Tyler discusses how negativity spreads, why encouragement matters more than we realize, and how a simple compliment can have a lasting impact on someone's day.

    Whether you're a driver, dispatcher, mechanic, manager, or leader, what we focus on grows. Choose opportunities over obstacles, gratitude over complaints, and help make the trucking industry a better place for everyone.
