We hear you, trucker!

Volunteering at the Iowa 80 Truckers Jamboree allowed me to meet some fantastic men and women behind the wheel. There are many challenges truckers face every day, and here is a small sample. For some new drivers' initial shock of adjusting to cold weather, planning their personal needs such as meals, laundry, showers, and sleep, picking up and delivering loads across the country can be challenging. Even if you delivered the loads on time, sick or tired, leaving a warm truck and walking across the street to use the washroom in the dead of winter is unthinkable. Another reason to volunteer at the Jamboree, during the covid shutdown, truckers kept our grocery store well stocked so that we have food on the table.

As a life coach, an independent recruiter, and a podcaster, my practice is in the solitary worker industry, like truckers. Unlike company recruiters, I am not under pressure to recruit drivers every month at any cost.
