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.

From shippers and receivers to fellow drivers and even dispatch, everyone faces moments that test their patience. Tyler shares real stories and practical advice on how to stay calm, professional, and in control when tensions rise.
He explains that the loudest person doesn’t win, the calmest one does, and shows how composure and respect can turn stressful encounters into opportunities for leadership. Listeners will learn simple ways to respond instead of react, handle rude people with professionalism, and protect their peace while setting the standard for others. Whether you are behind the wheel or leading a team, this episode is a reminder that professionalism is strength under control and that how you leave a conversation matters more than how you started it.
