    Gratitude Is the Antidote: Change the Way You See the Road Ahead

    Send us Fan Mail Gratitude is more than a positive thought. It is a mindset, a choice, and a daily decision that changes how we see life, how we treat people, and how we respond to challenges. In this episode of Beyond the Truck, we break down why gratitude is one of the most powerful prescriptions for negativity, fear, anger, stress, and discouragement. You cannot be fully grateful and negative at the same time. You cannot be fully grateful and fearful at the same time. You cannot be fully grateful and angry at the same time. Gratitude shifts your focus from what is missing to what is still meaningful. It does not deny the hard road, but it gives you the strength to keep driving forward with perspective, peace, humility, and purpose. This episode challenges professional drivers and all professionals to make gratitude part of their daily operating system. Because when gratitude becomes your standard, it does not just change your attitude. It changes your life. Beyond the Truck — Love and Appreciate You.

    Welcome To The Starting Line

    Send us Fan Mail Beyond The Truck Community https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1EA6wGKEWW/ Your biggest breakthrough starts with one simple shift: stop trying to fix your whole life and win today. Jerry Curl breaks down why willpower alone keeps failing, how habits really form, and the exact mindset reset that helps you replace smoking, drinking, junk food, anger, and negativity without spiraling into shame. This episode is a straight-talk reminder that relapse does not mean failure. Jerry shares a practical framework for auditing your triggers, responses, and rewards, then shows how to shrink impossible goals into something you can actually win—one morning, one afternoon, one evening at a time. If you have ever told yourself, “I’ll start over tomorrow,” this conversation will challenge that thinking and give you a better plan. You’ll discover how habit stacking works in real life, why the inner critic gets louder after a slip, and how to stop letting one bad choice define your identity. Jerry also gets personal about his own habits, including the temptation to reward a healthy day with custard, and uses that honesty to show why replacing old patterns matters more than just resisting them.He also widens the lens beyond self-improvement and into legacy. What habits are you passing down to your children, grandchildren, and the people watching your life?  That question gives this episode its urgency—because the battle is not just about getting better, it’s about becoming someone worth remembering.Essential listening if you’re trying to quit a bad habit, build healthier routines, or finally stop starting over every Monday. Jerry leaves you with a powerful truth: you did not fail, you are not broken, and the rest of your life starts at the starting line.

    Worry Steals Today's Joy

    Send us Fan Mail  After 47 years in trucking, I can look back on every challenge I worried my way through, and here's the truth: worrying never helped me one time. All it did was steal my focus from the great things I was called to do. Think about your route. When a road closes, the city doesn't close. You don't park the truck and stress about it. You let your GPS find an alternate route, and you finish that delivery. Life works the same way. You have a GPS too: your mind, your faith, and God's Planning System. He has a plan for you, and when the road ahead looks blocked, He's already found the way through. In this episode, we talk about trading worry for focus, trusting the plan, and choosing to enjoy the day you've been given instead of losing it to "what ifs." Lean into His plan. Keep rolling. We love and appreciate you. 🎧 Beyond the Truck: built for professional drivers and the families who support them.

    Audit Your Proximity

    Send us Fan Mail 📖 Proverbs 22:24–25  "Don't befriend angry people or associate with hot-tempered people, or you will learn to be like them and endanger your soul." We've all been that person. We've let negativity and anger take up residence in our minds, and we've watched it spill over into how we treat the people around us. In today's episode, we talk about why it's our job to audit our proximity. Who you spend time with shapes who you become. As leaders, we're called to set the standard, not lower ourselves to someone else's. This message is one you don't want to miss: your body follows your mind, and your mind will dictate the best parts of your life. Guard it. Protect it. Choose your circle wisely. Love and appreciate you ❤️🙏🔥 #BeyondTheTruck #ProfessionalDriver #Leadership #AuditYourProximity #Mindset Support the show Contact our Team at:  email; thrive@beyondthetruck.com

    Average Is Your Enemy: Get Back in the Lane of Life

    Send us Fan Mail Are you moving toward the life you want—or have you been parked on the shoulder, waiting for the perfect time to begin? Today, we’re discussing a challenging idea: there are only two stages in life—growing and dying. Ask yourself: Am I still learning, building, and becoming? Or have I grown comfortable with habits that are costing me the future I want? Average becomes our enemy when “good enough” becomes our permanent destination. Your worth isn’t measured against someone else. Your responsibility is to develop the gifts and opportunities you have. We’ve sat on the shoulder of life long enough. It’s time to choose a direction and accelerate with purpose. That means consistent action: one better decision, one stronger habit, one commitment honored today. Questions for today’s conversation: Where have you accepted “good enough” in your health, relationships, or leadership?What is the difference between necessary rest and avoiding your next step?What habit keeps pulling you back onto the shoulder?What are you learning today that will help you grow tomorrow?What one action will you commit to for the next seven days?You don’t have to make up every mile today. You do have to decide where you’re headed—and take the next step. Let’s accelerate in the lane of life. Your next chapter deserves your participation.

    Everyone Don't Like You and That's Okay!

    Send us Fan Mail Not everybody likes you. And you don't like everybody either. Jerry Curl explains why chasing universal approval costs you your self-worth, and what to do instead. Most of us worry about being liked by people we wouldn't even choose as friends. Jerry traces that need to belong from our earliest ancestors to the social media like button. He asks the question that stings: if you don't like everyone, why would everyone like you? Jerry shares: Why people pleasing leaves nobody happy, and mainly not youHow the dopamine of likes works, and what he noticed when he started posting this year after staying off social mediaHow the need to fit in can lead down the road to drinking, smoking and other addictionsHow to tell who belongs in your circle: the people who lift you higher when you win, and the ones who tell you "one won't hurt" when you're trying to quitA reminder for anyone in the service business: the person in front of you is going through adversity, coming out of it, or heading into it, and you can change their day either wayThe cost of ignoring this is real. Seeking outside validation feeds anxiety, pulls you away from your internal culture and leadership, and lets people live rent free in your head. Jerry points to Henry Ford, whom people called crazy for imagining a car, as proof that belief in your own worth can outlast the doubters. You are 100 percent in control of your self-worth, how you show up, and how you treat people, even when they treat you badly. Perfect for professional drivers, leaders and anyone tired of performing for approval. Jerry also shares news on Accelerate scholarships, open until December 15, and how to join the Beyond the Truck community. Contact: thrive@beyondthetruck.com.

    What We Measure, We Improve

    Send us Fan Mail What we measure, we can improve. What we ignore, we allow to drift. In this episode of Beyond The Truck, we break down the power of small incremental decisions and how they compound over time. In trucking, improving fuel mileage by just one-tenth of a mile per gallon may not seem like much in the moment, but over a million miles, that small improvement can add up to thousands of gallons saved and thousands of dollars protected. The same principle applies to our health. It is not always about reinventing your entire life overnight. It is about measuring the right things, becoming aware of your daily inputs, and making small disciplined decisions with consistency. Calories, movement, sleep, hydration, mindset, and habits all compound the same way fuel savings do. Consistency will always win. The question is: are you being consistent in the direction of winning, or consistent in the direction of losing? At Beyond The Truck, we are here to help professional drivers take control of their health, their mindset, and their future one decision at a time. We love and appreciate you.
