Beyond The Rig

Dave Williams and Steve Collins join us on this episode as they discuss what goes into speccing trucks for a large company, how trucks have changed over time, and what exciting changes are coming to trucking in the near future!

Tune in to our Refrigerated Podcast for a must‑watch, behind‑the‑wheel conversation with Knight Refrigerated drivers Mario Zamora and Joe Philpott.

They get real about what it truly takes to keep this line of business moving - from the responsibility that comes with the role to what day‑to‑day life is actually like on the road. With two different perspectives and experience levels, you’ll hear an honest take on the challenges, rewards, and realities of being a refrigerated driver. As beverage season approaches, this is a great opportunity to better understand the critical role our drivers play in our operation. And fair warning - these guys were having a time and had us laughing throughout the conversation, making it just as entertaining as it is informative.

Non-domiciled truck drivers is one of the hottest issues in the transportation industry. Listen to our panel of experts discuss changes being made and how those changes will impact the safety for everyone on the road.
