Professional drivers face a unique set of challenges every day they're on the road. And our Driver Support Specialists are there to help them every step of the way. In addition to other roles, John Murphy and Joe Secrist both spent time as drivers with our team before joining our Driver Support team. They join host David Broyles to share some insight into why they enjoy what they do.

Averitt From The Driver's Seat Podcast offers exactly that view, turning the cab into a recording studio for genuine conversations.
