Lately, it seems that the business of trucking is getting more and more expensive. And for good reason … it is! Fuel costs, driver wages, and truck/trailer payments are all up. So, what’s a fleet to do? After all, “you have to spend money to make money,” right?
Diesel technicians are in high demand and many fleets are having trouble securing the techs they need. So, what are the common problems and how can you overcome them? That’s exactly what Dave and Aaron Mowery sat down to discuss on this installment of Digging Deeper!
We’re back with another all-new episode of the 30 Day Reset. As always we’ll cover some of the latest driver recruiting data, take a look at some industry news stories, and check in with our economic guru, Jason Miller.

On today’s episode we switch things up just a bit. Today, instead of focusing on a typical driver recruiting call, Seth listens in on a self-taught diesel mechanic’s conversation with a fleet HR representative.
We all know that when asked drivers always rank pay at the top. But is it really the one and only thing to focus on? Could fleets find success by removing friction and improving the driver experience … even if their pay is not highest around?
Get caught up with all the latest driver recruiting data including costs, freight information, and spot rates. We’ll also take a look at top industry news stories and check in with our friend, Jason Miller, to discuss what we can learn from last year’s CVSA Roadcheck data to prepare for the upcoming inspection blitz.
