Trucking for Millennials

This week Aaron and Michael sat down with the creator of the popular trucking and freight news blog www.freightbrokerlive.com to discuss all things trucking!

They dive into how Stephen got started, why he hates the term "millennials", how our generation (and younger) can have a successful career in our industry, trucking media, and much, much, more!

Stephen has a passion for logistics that is supremely evident in this episode! Be sure to follow him on social media, his podcast and website so you don't miss his unique take on what's happening in logistics today!

In this episode you'll hear timeless wisdom from trucking industry veterans we had the opportunity to speak with at the 2019 Great American Trucking Show.

We break down three separate clips of audio we recorded when we launched our podcast at Great American Trucking Show.

We ask the public's opinion on the Millennial generation and the responses are thought provoking to say the least!
