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 85: Pouring Into Others: The Ripple Effect of Giving Without Expecting
In this episode of the Keep Trucking Personal podcast, host Tyler Kivi reflects on one of the most powerful lessons he’s learned - both in life and in trucking: the impact of those who give without expecting anything in return.
Tyler shares personal stories of the people who shaped him along the way - from Mike Foerst, who taught him discipline and accountability in the shop; to Derek, who opened doors and shared years of operational wisdom; to Kaitlyn, whose belief and honesty continue to fuel his growth; and Swan Webb, whose mentorship in data and analytics helped Tyler see the numbers behind the business in a whole new way.
Through these real stories, Tyler reminds us that true success isn’t measured by recognition, paychecks, or prizes - it’s found in the quiet, consistent act of building others up. Whether you’re leading a team, running loads, or simply trying to be a better human, this episode is a call to give more, expect less, and keep the human side of trucking strong.
