Speaking for trucking companies, leadership teams, and industry events.
**Featured ProTalks Speaker at the Mid-America Trucking Show (MATS) 2026**
I speak on driver retention, communication, culture, and the real human pressures behind turnover in trucking.
My talks are designed for trucking audiences who want to reduce turnover, protect revenue, and create a culture where drivers want to stay. I bring real-world insight from more than 30 years behind the wheel, combined with practical strategies leaders can use to improve retention, communication, and support for the people who keep freight moving.
I have held my CDL since 1991 and have driven more than 2.5 million miles from OTR to regional and local work. I know the pressure, burnout, missed family moments, and frustration that can build when drivers feel like nobody sees what the job is costing them. That lived experience shapes every talk I give.
Featured speaking topics:
Retention from the Cab Up: Real tools to keep drivers for the long haul.
A practical keynote on why drivers really leave, what turnover is costing fleets, and how leadership can build a driver-centered culture that keeps more good drivers.
Dispatcher as Coach: Better communication under pressure.
A workshop that helps dispatchers and front‑line leaders shift from reactive conversations to a calmer, coaching‑style approach, so drivers feel heard, dispatchers feel supported, and trust improves during tough moments—reducing turnover and the hidden costs of constant churn.
From Regret to Renewal: Turning setbacks into strategic momentum.
A keynote about moving through difficult seasons, setbacks, and hard transitions with greater clarity, resilience, and purpose.
Self-Trust: The Compass for Life’s Crossroads: Practical confidence for leaders and drivers in transition.
A keynote focused on helping people trust themselves again when life or work puts them at a crossroads.
