November 21, 2019Bonus // Jim Revelle’s Thanksgiving Message – Part 1
Hold onto your hat, because we’re
moving back in time to visit Thanksgiving Day milestones: the first
Thanksgiving, Thanksgiving in the Revolutionary War, and Thanksgiving in the
Civil War.
They’re all iconic moments but not
quite the picturesque scenes you’d find in a Hallmark movie. Amid death, uncertainty,
and difficulty, the people of America celebrated Thanksgiving. Even though giving
thanks may not have been at the top of their to-do list.
Just like these early Americans, in
difficult times, we have a choice to make when it comes to Thanksgiving. Will
we give in to despair? Or will we give thanks?

November 19, 2019Ep. 47 // Did He Really Just Say That?: Kent Pitchford
Hop to it and don’t dilly-dally on pushing play this week.
We’re keeping it real – and keeping everyone in line – with Country Boy Kent
Pitchford.
With understated humor that will have you in tears, Kent
shares his take on Nussbaum’s office staff, rolling with change, and training
new drivers. Get a behind the scenes, unfiltered diagnosis of sales,
accounting, and operations at Nussbaum because Kent’s going to tell you how it
is.
Don’t miss the genuine heart behind the loving teasing – in
the span of a few recent years, Kent has beat cancer, quit smoking, and given
his life to God.
This is an episode you don’t want to miss.
Quotes
“The Sales guys, they lost my account for
Caterpillar. And I sat down in front of them, and I said, ‘I outta take out
your knee caps. I had this Dedicated run for six years!’”
“I said, ‘You guys are messin’ with my gravy.’”
“Oh, they’re my favorite women in all the world
except for my wife and daughter. Because they’re the ones that take care of my
paycheck.”
“Brent handed me that hat and made me proud.”
“I’ve got to give a shout out to all them guys
in the office that are going out and getting their CDL’s.”
“Some of them are just weenies and can’t handle
it out there in the trucking world. So, they say, ‘Well, we’re gonna go hide
behind the office.’”
“Come on – wake up! You live down this road. And
you still don’t know your exit!”
“You can’t get over-rambunctious or over-excited
about things. Just flow easy.”
“You gotta be willing to get along with anybody.
That’s one of the chores that’s tough.”
“I had a friend of mine that was a cop. I said,
‘Run my MVR…’ And he kept scrolling and scrolling and scrolling and scrolling.”
Phillip: “I’m not sure we’d get a whole lot
accomplished if you came in here to the office.”
Kent: “No, because I’d probably fire half of
them. So…”

November 12, 2019Ep. 46 // Into the West: Bill Petersen
He’s been trucking. Forever. And he’s dabbled in it all:
reefer, doubles, flatbed, owner-operator, you name it, and Bill knows something
about it.
Pull up a chair with the always-smiling, always-traveling,
never-short-on-a-story Bill Petersen in this episode of Terminal Exchange.
Besides five years in the U.S. Army, Bill has been driving since he was 16
years old.
This California to Canada transplant will make you laugh and
fuel your desire for travel as he shares true big fish stories, places he’s
visited, and how he doesn’t go to work every day – he just continues on the
adventure.
Quotes
Phillip: How long have you been a truck driver?
Bill: Legally? Or illegally?
“If I never had to go past Ohio again, I’d be a
happy camper.”
“I go runnin’ into the house to go to the
bathroom. I come back out, and I said, ‘Dad, they took the bathroom!’ My dad
turned me around and said, ‘See that little building right over there?’”
“Never seen her before in my life, but I looked
at my friend and said, ‘I’m gonna marry her one day.’”
“I’ve tried to work local, and it wasn’t for me.
My wife got to the point and said, ‘You need to get back on the road. You are
no fun!’”
“Find a job that’s something that you like, and
it’ll never be a job. It’ll be an adventure.”
“Treat the customer like they’re paying you your
paycheck. Because they are!”

November 05, 2019Ep. 45 // Big Truck Grandpa: Neil Barbour
Driving cross-country every week doesn’t mean that you actually see a lot of the United States.
But while he’s passing those signs on the highway, Neil Barbour is making a
list of places to travel.
We talk faith and family with Neil this week as he walks us
through the miles of his life: from a recent mission trip to Tijuana, to his
current journey of moving to Arkansas in an RV, and the 2020 cross country trip
his grandchildren are planning with him.
The weekly miles don’t fatigue the thrill of the road for Neil.
Instead, they fuel his sense of adventure as he notes the places he wants to
visit.
Join in the conversation with Neil as we talk about scaling
mountainsides, planning trips, and the joy of hauling Nussbaum trailers that open
doors for discussion.

October 29, 2019Ep. 44 // Cooking Up Good Times With Tianne Overmyer
The Baby of the Family
You probably knew about Nussbaum family members working at Nussbaum Transportation by their names: Brent Nussbaum, Kirk Nussbaum, and Brendon Nussbaum. But did you know about the fourth?
Alden and Tillie Nussbaum’s seventh child, the baby of the siblings, is making a living at Nussbaum among other employees.
As a driver, you’ve probably heard from her as a recruiter or the head of the driver trainee program. And as a non-driver, you can’t miss her irresistibly joyful smile and laughter in the office.
Bend an ear to this episode of Terminal Exchange as Tianne Overmyer divulges her unique perspective on Nussbaum Transportation as an owner, an employee, and one of Alden and Tillie Nussbaum’s daughters.
Quotes
· “Her [Tillie] best quality, her biggest quality, was the generosity that she had for the poor and the little children.”
“He [Brent] hit a nerve, and I unloaded on him! And I told him exactly why I could not move back.”
“He [Alden] wasn’t one to spend a lot of money. My mom would buy things and hide them in the basement from him.”
“I think he [Alden] would be very humbled. I think he would appreciate the job that’s being done. And I think he would appreciate the fact that we’ve always looked to the Lord for our blessings and our discernment and our growth. I think he’d be very humbled.”
“I really enjoy seeing the trainees come in and blossom.”
“I really learned how much God loves us through those kids. Because they just love me. If they love me that much, I can’t imagine how much my Heavenly Father must love me.”

October 22, 2019Ep. 43 // Avocado Man: Colonel Jay Clason
Grab a seat and lean in, because we’re sitting down with Jay
Clason. Jay’s a man with 37 years in the U.S. Army, 34 countries under his
boots, and 49 states notched in his belt. You could say he’s been around the
block a few times.
Jay leads us through his life from being drafted at the end
of the Vietnam War through his progression to Lieutenant Colonel and beyond. Full
of noteworthy quotes, eyebrow-raising friendships, and one hefty resume, Jay is
sure to delight in this episode of Terminal Exchange.
And how does one with such a dense resume end up running
miles for Nussbaum Transportation? Jay fills in the gaps and leaves you with an
incredulous cliffhanger.
He’ll be back, don’t worry.
Quotes
“When they’d say, ‘Wow, you’ve had a lot of
jobs…’ My answer was, “Well, I need to figure out what I want to do when I grow
up. And I think I have. It’s called retirement.’”
“You never know what people see in you that you
don’t recognize in yourself.”
“I wrote the DOD portion of the National
Response Plan in 2002.”
“I’ve lived in big cities all over the world,
but I’m a country kid from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I do not want to
live in Washington, D.C.!”
“I’ve slept on top of tanks, in the back of
trucks and Humvees, in the sand, in the snow. But I’ve also slept on the floor
of the House of Representatives – we did a terrorist training exercise to
defend Congress.”
“For the military, we only know two worlds… we
go to war, or we’re training to do that.”
“I haven’t grown up yet.”

Quotes
“When you connect your computer to the internet,
it’s kind of like having your house connected to the street. And without a
firewall, your door is wide open… A firewall is basically locking the door and
only allowing in those users that you would like to come in.” – Doug
“Antivirus is kind of like patrolling the inside
of the house – checking the passes of people that came in.” – Jesse
“Everyone in IT could spend their entire next
year working on security-related stuff and still not be as secure as you want
to be.”
“Password123 is one of the number one passwords
in the world – by huge margins!”
