Inside Kivi Bros Trucking

As the year comes to a close and New Year’s resolutions start to build, Tyler Kivi shares a timely message about standards, discipline, and preparation. With winter hitting hard across the Midwest, this episode is a reminder that cold weather does not care about intentions or plans. It quickly exposes shortcuts and reveals the difference between cheap effort and best effort.Winter raises expectations. Customers still expect loads on time, families still expect drivers home safely, and equipment still demands attention. The cold does not care if you are tired or in a hurry. Tyler walks through what real preparation looks like during the toughest months of the year, from slowing down and increasing following distance to taking the time for proper pre trips and equipment checks.This episode highlights why the standards you set right now matter. The habits built in the cold, the grind, and the hard days are the ones that carry into the year ahead. Being prepared and disciplined may not be flashy, but it is professional, consistent, and trusted.As the new year approaches, Tyler challenges drivers to raise their standards, stay prepared, and make decisions that get them home safely every time. That is how winter becomes manageable and how the year starts the right way.Happy New Year from Tyler and the Keep Trucking Personal podcast.

Kivi Bros Trucking Inc.

In this episode of the Keep Trucking Personal podcast, Tyler Kivi speaks directly to the drivers, carriers, and industry professionals who didn’t tune out when the work got uncomfortable.

Trucking and across the industry.The episode also touches on compliance changes, English language proficiency enforcement, winter conditions, and how these factors are reshaping capacity and carrier operations. Tyler reflects on the collective pressure felt across the industry during the holiday season, from drivers and dispatchers to leadership and shippers, and reminds listeners that feeling stretched doesn’t mean you’re behind.Tying the conversation to preparation rather than perfection, Tyler shares a reflection rooted in faith, emphasizing that preparation often goes unnoticed but gives pressure its purpose.

He explains how pressure is part of the job, why there is no perfect week coming to save you, and how the way you communicate, prepare, and show up on hard days is what separates the average from the exceptional.Tyler shares personal insight from his own fitness routine to show why results often lag behind effort and why discipline builds you from the inside out long before progress becomes visible. He closes with practical reminders about taking ownership, controlling what you can control, and setting daily standards that help you win December and your career.

Tyler emphasizes the importance of urgency, treating every load and every day like it matters, and owning your plan instead of hoping things go right. He also discusses controllable versus uncontrollable challenges, from weather to maintenance delays to holiday closures, and why confidence, communication, and preparation matter more than ever. Tyler closes with a challenge for every driver: after your pre-trip each morning, tell yourself, “I can win today.” Winning starts in your mindset long before it shows up in your paycheck.

Kivi Bros Trucking Inc.

In this episode of the Keep Trucking Personal podcast, Tyler Kivi from Kivi Bros. Trucking takes a deeper look at winter driving and reveals the real risk drivers face during the colder months.

He breaks down the difference between experience and complacency, the small habits that erode over time, and the dangers that appear when shortcuts become normal.Tyler also shares practical reminders about securement, pre trips, equipment checks, braking, stopping distances, and the need to stay alert when the first flakes hit the ground. Most of all, he talks about professional pride and how returning to the basics can keep drivers safe when the weather turns. Winter does not cause most accidents. Cutting corners does.
