    Safety Is a Culture, Not a Department: On the Front Line Scott Reynolds

    What does a strong safety culture really look like?On this episode of On the Front Line, I talk with Scott Reynolds about something he believes strongly: safety can’t just live inside the safety department. It has to be part of the culture.Scott has spent his career in transportation safety, and one thing he’s learned is that you can have all the right policies, technology, training, and procedures—but they only work when your people believe in them.One thing Scott said really stood out to me: to be a good safety leader, you have to have the heart of a teacher.It’s easy to get caught up in spreadsheets, numbers, reports, and technology. But as Scott reminds us, behind every number is a person: a driver with a family depending on them to make it home safely.We talk about identifying risk before it becomes an incident, giving drivers the tools to make good decisions, recognizing people when they do things right, and why Safety, Operations, and Maintenance need to work together instead of against each other.Because safety isn’t about catching people doing something wrong. It’s about teaching, listening, recognizing risk, and helping people make better decisions.And that’s how you build a culture people actually want to be part of.#OnTheFrontLine #Trucking #SafetyCulture #TruckingSafety #SafetyLeadership #Transportation #Leadership #FleetSafety

    The Courage to Create: The Power of Curiosity with Ray Lampkins

    In this episode of the I Love Learning podcast, I sit down with Ray Lampkins, better known as Trucking Ray, a professional truck driver, podcaster, entrepreneur, and someone who truly believes in never stopping at where you are today. Ray has spent more than a decade behind the wheel, but his story goes far beyond driving a truck. He’s taken his experiences on the road and turned them into opportunities to connect with others, build community, and create something meaningful.We talk about his podcast, That’s Delivered, his journey into entrepreneurship with Three Axle Coffee, and the app he created to give drivers tools for journaling, tracking their lives on the road, and connecting with a positive community. But one thing Ray said really stayed with me: "I don’t claim to know it all. I just want to learn about it all." That curiosity is at the heart of this conversation. Ray reminds us that you don’t need to have everything figured out before you start. You just need to stay curious, be willing to learn, and have the courage to take that first step.#Transportation #Leadership #TruckingIndustry

    The Courage to Create: From Success to Significance with Dan Carroll

    Disclaimer: Views in this podcast episode are that of the individual and not necessarily of PFG.What does it really mean to move from success to significance?In this episode of the I Love Learning podcast I sit down with Dan Carroll, Regional President of Performance Foodservice and author of The Significance Code.

He believes we should never stop growing and that some of our greatest opportunities come from helping the people around us reach their potential. We talk about servant leadership, lifelong learning, finding purpose, and why success alone may not be enough to create a truly fulfilling life.One idea from our conversation that really stuck with me is Dan’s belief that we all need four people in our lives: a mentor, a peer, a mentee, and a truth teller. We talk about why each of those relationships matters and how surrounding ourselves with the right people can challenge us to keep learning and growing.Dan also shares what inspired him to write The Significance Code and why he believes there is always more we can learn, more we can give, and more impact we can have.🎧 Watch the full episode and join us as we explore what it means to not only achieve success, but to build a life of significance.

    The Courage to Create: From Truck Driver to Inventor with James (J.R.) Boyce

    In this episode of The Courage to Create, Dr. Gina Anderson sits down with James (J.R.) Boyce, a professional truck driver and creator of Trucker Tote, to talk about how a real-life safety concern on the road inspired him to start developing a solution for drivers.J.R. shares a frightening moment when an unsecured object flew across his cab after hitting a pothole, distracting him at exactly the wrong time. That experience helped shape his idea for Trucker Tote and his belief that even small improvements can make a meaningful difference in driver safety.But J.R.’s story goes far beyond one invention. He talks about losing approximately 370 pounds, learning to improve his life through small, consistent changes, and applying that same mindset to finances, product development, entrepreneurship, and problem-solving. Even while continuing to work long hours as a professional driver, he is learning how to take an idea from prototype to product and discovering what it means to create something that could positively impact his industry.This conversation is a reminder that you don’t have to see yourself as an inventor or entrepreneur to become one. Sometimes you simply have to recognize a problem you understand better than most and have enough courage to take the next small step toward solving it.

    What if AI could help us become more human, not less? In this episode of the I Love Learning Podcast, Dr. Gina Anderson sits down with Britta Miano, founder of AI QuantumLead, for a conversation about artificial intelligence, transportation and logistics, entrepreneurship, leadership, company culture, and having the courage to take a risk on yourself. After nearly 15 years in the freight and logistics industry, Britta made the difficult decision to leave a career and company she loved to pursue her dream of entrepreneurship. She took everything she had learned about freight operations, sales, customer service, relationships, and business growth and began exploring how AI could solve real-world problems without sacrificing the human connection that makes transportation work. Britta's philosophy is simple: AI shouldn't replace what makes us human. It should give us more time to do it.

    The Courage to Create: How Evan Shelley Is Solving America’s Truck Parking Problem

    In this episode of The Courage to Create, Gina Anderson sits down with Evan Shelley, Co-Founder and CEO of Truck Parking Club, to talk about entrepreneurship, perseverance, innovation, and what it takes to turn an overlooked problem into meaningful change.Evan came from the real estate world, but when he discovered just how difficult it is for professional truck drivers to find safe, reliable parking, he saw an opportunity. Instead of simply building more parking lots, he asked a different question: What if we could better use the space that already exists?That idea became Truck Parking Club, a marketplace Evan describes as “Airbnb for truck parking.” The platform connects drivers, fleet managers, and dispatchers with reservable truck parking while helping property owners monetize unused space. Today, Truck Parking Club has grown to more than 6,300 locations across all 50 states and has helped safely park hundreds of thousands of drivers.But this conversation is about much more than truck parking.Evan shares what he has learned from leaving the corporate world, building multiple businesses, entering an industry without a clear roadmap, and continuing forward when success was far from guaranteed. His biggest lesson? Perseverance.He also shares an important message for professional drivers who may have an idea but don't think of themselves as entrepreneurs. The resilience, adaptability, and problem-solving required to succeed on the road are many of the same qualities required to build a business.Sometimes courage isn't having everything figured out. It's seeing a problem, believing there's a better way, and being willing to take the first step.Learn more about Truck Parking Club at TruckParkingClub.com and follow them on social media.#CourageToCreate #EvanShelley #TruckParkingClub #TruckParking #TruckingIndustry #TruckDrivers #Entrepreneurship #Innovation #Leadership #BusinessGrowth #Logistics #Transportation #Trucking
