    Kelley Marshall Shows How Truckers Can Save Lives By Seeing The Signs

    A single glance can change a life. That idea drives our powerful conversation with Kelley Marshall, survivor leader and training specialist with Truckers Against Trafficking. Kelley turns a painful past into practical guidance, breaking down how traffickers groom their targets through attention, financial “help,” and manufactured debt—and why so many victims may appear compliant while living under coercive control. Her story brings hard truth to the surface: demand fuels exploitation. We move beyond headlines to the everyday places where trafficking hides in plain sight—truck stops, schools, restaurants, farms, and construction sites. Kelley explains the red flags drivers can notice without confrontation, including coerced companions, scripted answers, lack of ID or money, and controlling “partners.” Most importantly, she shares exactly what to do next: observe, document vehicle details and locations, and make the call. Law enforcement would rather investigate a false alarm than miss a chance to help someone in danger. Kelley also opens up about healing. She shares how shame and silence gave way to recovery through faith, community, and reflective writing—work that led to her book I’ve Got a Secret, which includes a biblically based curriculum and journaling tools for survivors. We challenge myths around legalizing prostitution, discuss the growing reality of labor trafficking, and talk about purpose at work—how building people up reduces vulnerability and strengthens communities. Whether you drive for a living or simply care about human dignity, this episode equips you to see more clearly, understand more deeply, and act with confidence. Key Takeaways ✅ Trafficking often begins with grooming, not force—attention, money, and debt are common tools of control  ✅ Victims may appear “willing” due to fear, manipulation, or survival tactics  ✅ Trafficking hides in everyday places, not just on the news  ✅ Drivers can spot red flags safely without confronting anyone  ✅ Document details and report—law enforcement prefers false alarms over missed opportunities  ✅ Demand drives exploitation; addressing buyers matters  ✅ Healing is possible through community, faith, and intentional recovery work  ✅ Purpose-driven workplaces and communities reduce vulnerability If this conversation moved you, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review.

    Celebrating White Line Fever, 50 Year Anniversary: Rob Mariani On Legacy And Grit

    A kid growing up in 1970s Milwaukee falls in love with trucks the hard way—by hanging around the 76, flipping through Overdrive, and begging to climb into a Peterbilt. That kid was Rob Mariani. Today, he’s the creator of American Trucker, and he joins us for a candid ride from those early memories to a primetime television series, a white-knuckle whiteout on Donner Pass, and an ambitious plan to honor the film that sparked it all: White Line Fever. Rob breaks down how one movie shaped not just his career, but a mission. He shares the years-long grind to get American Trucker made—cold calls, a make-or-break WebEx, a self-funded sizzle reel—and what changed when the network finally said yes. The show’s power came from looking beyond stereotypes, opening doors into America’s logistics backbone: UPS operations, NASA’s overlooked fleet, heavy haul outfits, and the owner-operators still carrying the torch. We also revisit the most intense shoot of his career, embedded with Caltrans during a freeway-closing pileup on Donner Pass. From there, the conversation turns to today’s realities—CDL mills, wage pressure, road culture, and how viral outrage often paints the industry worse than it is—while autonomy and AI loom larger by the day. Rob’s answer? A new documentary that recreates White Line Fever’s legendary Blue Mule stunt with Hollywood veteran Mike Ryan and stunt legend Buddy Joe Hooker. It’s a visceral contrast between real, analog stunt work and CGI, making the case for human skill you can feel when the glass actually shatters. If you care about trucking history, driver training, practical stunts, or simply love diesel and clean chrome, this conversation is your lane. We talk enforcement that works, recruiting the next generation, and how pride returns—one pre-trip, one clean cab, one good pass at a time. Key Takeaways 🟩 A single film (White Line Fever) can spark a lifelong mission in trucking 🟩 American Trucker succeeded by telling stories beyond the driver stereotype 🟩 Persistence matters: cold calls, sizzle reels, and one do-or-die meeting changed everything 🟩 Some of the most important trucking stories live inside fleets few people ever see 🟩 Real-world experience beats viral outrage when it comes to industry perception 🟩 CDL quality, pay pressure, and road culture are real issues—but solvable ones 🟩 Practical, human skill still matters in an era of AI, autonomy, and CGI 🟩 Pride in trucking starts with fundamentals: pre-trips, clean equipment, and professionalism Enjoyed the ride?

    Brent Hagen On Reliability Begins Before The Road

    Reliability doesn’t start at the dock; it starts with the systems, culture, and visibility that shape every move long before a truck leaves the yard. We sit down with Brent Hagen, Chief Supply Chain Officer at Lob and former Amazon operations leader, to explore how standard work, bottoms-up ownership, and ruthless transparency turn daily chaos into dependable delivery. From running a 24/7 slice of a two-million-square-foot facility to redesigning Lob’s network without owning fixed assets, Brent shares the practices that help teams stay calm, move fast, and keep promises. Key Takeaways 👇  🟩 Reliability starts long before the truck moves—built through culture, systems, and visibility.  🟩 Standard work + bottoms-up ownership turn daily chaos into predictable performance.  🟩 Consolidating from 30 → ~10 manufacturing partners significantly improved quality and consistency.  🟩 The most reliable carriers offer predictable lanes, strong scan visibility, and accountable exception handling.  🟩 Lob builds Amazon-like speed without fixed assets by tightly integrating manufacturers, logistics partners, and USPS injections.  🟩 Leaders evolve by shifting from “fixer” to “builder of owners” and maintaining steady rituals across all shifts.  🟩 AI pays off today in dispatch intake, exception triage, lane forecasting, trailer utilization, and cost-to-serve modeling.  🟩 Tracking data is non-negotiable—“If you don’t track it, you can’t trust it.”  🟩 Tariffs, seasonality, and resilience planning remain central to dependable supply chain operations.  🟩 Brent supports STEM through the Science Center of Iowa to help grow the next generation of logistics innovators.  Follow for more conversations at the edge of trucking, fulfillment, and technology.
