    What does it take to reinvent your life—and chase a completely new path? In this episode of Terminal Exchange, Nussbaum driver Mike Spitzer shares his extraordinary journey from 18 years as a professional chef to becoming an over-the-road truck driver.

He encourages listeners to push past fear, learn from mistakes, and pursue personal growth wherever it leads. Ultimately, Mike’s journey highlights the importance of courage, curiosity, and a willingness to start fresh. “Faith gives power, love gives strength, and growth begins when we stop standing in our own way.” Press play to hear how he blended passion, purpose, and a brand-new career on the open road!

    Ep. 145 // The Road That Built a Legacy: A Conversation with Steve Mallory

    What can we learn from a lifetime spent on the road—and the people you meet along the way? In this episode of Terminal Exchange, we celebrate the retirement of Steve Mallory, who wraps up eight years at Nussbaum Transportation after a long and remarkable career in the trucking industry. Steve reflects on his journey that began in the late 1970s, starting as a young truck driver learning the ropes in Chicago and eventually accumulating nearly 2.8 million safe driving miles. He shares stories from the early days—navigating with paper atlases before modern technology, hauling hazmat freight, and adjusting to the ever-changing demands of the road. Steve also discusses his transition from driver to dispatcher at Nussbaum, serving in multiple pods and eventually becoming a float driver manager. He expresses deep gratitude for Nussbaum’s culture, the ESOP program that provided meaningful retirement benefits, and the family-like atmosphere that made him say Nussbaum felt like “the company I wish I’d found thirty years earlier.” The conversation also touches on Steve’s personal interests, including classic cars and country music, as well as heartfelt messages from coworkers honoring his impact on the company and his advocacy for drivers.

    Ep. 144 // Jesus Gets You, with Jim Revelle

    What does Christmas really mean? According to Scripture, it’s about the incarnation—God becoming human in Jesus Christ. In this message, Chaplain Jim Revelle explores the profound significance of the incarnation and how it connects to our everyday struggles. Drawing from his father’s World War II combat trauma and the way veterans bond through shared experience, Jim explains how Jesus relates to human suffering by living it Himself—poverty, family dysfunction, physical abuse, betrayal, injustice, and abandonment. Through the incarnation, Jesus understands every human struggle and offers mercy and grace to those who come to Him. Jim concludes with encouragement for listeners to receive God’s understanding and extend listening ears to others during this Christmas season.

    Ep. 143 // Thankful for The Fleas, with Jim Revelle

    How can gratitude transform your perspective—even in the hardest times? In this Thanksgiving message, Jim Revelle, a chaplain serving Nussbaum Transportation through Corporate Chaplains of America, shares powerful stories of faith, resilience, and thankfulness. Jim begins with a personal account of his father’s World War II experience—being rescued from a sinking ship after a kamikaze attack—and draws parallels to spiritual rescue and salvation. He also discusses his own practice of keeping a gratitude journal, filled with hundreds of daily entries throughout the year. The centerpiece of his message is the inspiring story of Betsy and Corrie Ten Boom, Dutch sisters imprisoned in Ravensbrück concentration camp for hiding Jews during WWII. Despite horrific conditions, including flea infestations in their barracks, the sisters chose to give thanks for everything—even the fleas. That gratitude ultimately protected their secret Bible study meetings from guard interference. Jim encourages listeners to find gratitude even in difficult circumstances, reminding us that God can work through challenges for greater purposes. He concludes with a heartfelt prayer for the Nussbaum community, emphasizing divine mercy, grace, and care for each individual.

    Ep. 140 // Becoming an Ideal Team Player, with Scott Herrmann

    How can you become an ideal coworker? According to The Ideal Team Player by Patrick Lencioni, you must cultivate three key virtues. In the fable, Lencioni tells the story of Jeff Shanley, a leader desperate to save his uncle’s company by restoring its cultural commitment to teamwork. Jeff and his fellow executives must crack the code on which virtues define a real team player—and then build a culture of hiring and development around those attributes. (Book description taken from Amazon) In today’s exchange, Scott Herrmann, Nussbaum’s Software Engineering Director, explores these essential traits of an ideal team player: humble, hungry, and smart. • Humble – putting others before self; not egocentric. • Hungry – eager to go above and beyond; passionate. • Smart – understands people and team dynamics; emotionally intelligent. Through humorous anecdotes and references to Patrick Lencioni's work, Scott illustrates how self-awareness and collaboration can enhance teamwork. He encourages listeners to reflect on their personal qualities and seek growth through feedback and engagement with peers. Ultimately, creating a culture of ideal team players is vital for achieving goals and fostering a positive work environment. Press play to learn more!
