This week our podcast episodes covered a number of events from a chat about the National Recruiting and Retention Symposium to the classic truck show recently held in Clifford Ontario.
Why Recruiting & Retention is the Future of Trucking!
We sit down with industry expert Kim Richardson to pull back the curtain on the National Recruiting and Retention Symposium. We discuss the history of this premier event, why it was created to support transportation HR professionals, and where the symposium is heading as it continues to shape the future of workforce strategy in the trucking industry.
Trucking’s Soul is Alive in Clifford!
We’re still buzzing from the 2026 Clifford Truck Show! If you weren’t there, you missed a masterclass in trucking history. This wasn’t about chrome and polish—it was about the connections, the “diesel gene,” and the stories shared between generations of drivers. From row after row of classic cabovers to the incredible turnout of Macks and Kenworths, Clifford reminded us exactly why we love this industry.
Huge shoutout to the Great Lakes Truck Club for putting on another world-class reunion.
Walk the lot at Clifford, and you’ll instantly notice the Joseph Transport rigs. But it’s not just the equipment that makes them stand out—it’s the people behind the wheels.
In this episode, we catch up with the dedicated drivers of Joseph Transport to talk about what makes their company culture different, the pride they take in their rigs, and why they look forward to the Clifford Truck Show every year.
