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 88: The Most Dangerous Part of Winter Isn’t the Weather
In this episode of the Keep Trucking Personal podcast, Tyler Kivi from Kivi Bros. Trucking takes a deeper look at winter driving and reveals the real risk drivers face during the colder months. It is not the snow, ice, or wind. It is overconfidence. Tyler explains how complacency slowly replaces discipline, how the familiar can start to feel safe when it is not, and why winter exposes drivers who stop respecting the season. He breaks down the difference between experience and complacency, the small habits that erode over time, and the dangers that appear when shortcuts become normal.
Tyler also shares practical reminders about securement, pre trips, equipment checks, braking, stopping distances, and the need to stay alert when the first flakes hit the ground. Most of all, he talks about professional pride and how returning to the basics can keep drivers safe when the weather turns. Winter does not cause most accidents. Cutting corners does. This episode shows drivers how to stay sharp, stay intentional, and stay safe as the season approaches.
