In Episode 98 of the Keep Trucking Personal podcast, Tyler Kivi talks through one of the toughest realities of life on the road: extreme winter weather and the ripple effects it creates for drivers. From widespread shutdowns and icy roads to lost miles, delayed paychecks, and mounting stress, this episode focuses on how snow, ice, and cold temperatures test not just your truck, but your mindset and decision-making. Tyler shares real-world perspective on preparation, communication, fuel strategy, and knowing when to shut down before conditions force your hand.

He also dives into the mental side of winter driving, including patience, professionalism, and protecting your safety, equipment, and income when so much feels out of your control. This is an honest, timely conversation about slowing down when it matters, making smart calls, and getting through the hardest part of the year without burning yourself out.
