In this special Thanksgiving episode of the Keep Trucking Personal podcast, host Tyler Kivi pauses the hustle of the season to speak directly to the men and women who keep our industry and country moving.
While most people are gearing up for time with family, long weekends, and full tables, America’s drivers are often gearing up for one of the busiest weeks of the year. Tyler breaks down a truth many people overlook: every single part of Thanksgiving: the food, the fuel, the heat, the clothes, the décor, the supplies - all of it reaches families because of the hard work and sacrifice of truck drivers.
Tyler shares his gratitude not only for the drivers at Kivi Bros. Trucking but for drivers across America. He reflects on the tough decisions drivers make every day, the unseen challenges they navigate, and the professionalism they bring to every mile. From flatbed to heavy haul, intermodal to end dump, regional to over-the-road: every division, every driver plays a vital role.
This episode is a reminder that behind every truck is a real person with a family, responsibilities, and dreams. And a message to every driver spending Thanksgiving on the road or at home: We see you. We appreciate you. And we are grateful for you.

Episode 74: Breaking Down the Us vs. Them Mindset in Trucking
In this episode of the Keep Trucking Personal podcast, Tyler Kivi, of Kivi Bros. Trucking, digs into one of the most persistent and damaging divides in the trucking industry: the “drivers vs. office” mentality. Tyler challenges both sides to rethink assumptions, rebuild trust, and commit to communication that strengthens the entire team.
From the golden days when a handshake was as good as a contract, to the current climate of skepticism and poor follow-through, Tyler explores how culture has shifted and what it will take to get back to a foundation of trust. He shares why honest feedback, even when it stings, is one of the most valuable tools for personal and professional growth.
If you’ve ever thought there was the tension between the road and the office, this is for you. It’s time to drop the “us vs. them” mindset and remember we’re all driving toward the same destination: getting the load there, safely and on time.
