Topics We Cover
Company Updates & Wins
Get the latest news from across the company, including the arrival of Driven Magazine Volume 11—our first-ever issue featuring a shop tech on the cover—plus a warm welcome to 26 new drivers who joined the Nussbaum family in March. We also share details on the newly announced driver profit‑sharing program, an award win for BidRight from Heavy Duty Trucking Magazine, and a fun new customer partnership with UTZ Snacks.
New Fleet-Level Metrics: Know Your Numbers
Fleet planners introduce a new initiative giving over-the-road system drivers visibility into fleet-level operational and financial metrics. Learn what a fleet is, what metrics you’ll see—like operating ratio, on-time performance, miles per day, and empty percentage—and why sharing these numbers empowers drivers to help shape results through everyday decisions and feedback.
Fuel Prices, the Middle East, and What It Means for Trucking
President Bill Wettstein breaks down the impact of the Middle East conflict on fuel prices, cash flow, and margins. He explains how sudden fuel increases affect the business short-term, why higher fuel prices can slightly improve margins long-term, and how broader economic effects could influence freight demand.
A Changing Trucking Market Outlook
Bill also explains why today’s strengthening trucking market is different from past cycles—driven more by reduced supply than increased demand. Learn how regulatory crackdowns, reduced capacity, and improving rates create opportunity, and what that means for growth as we look toward the rest of 2026.
Stories From the Road: Faith in Action
Klint from the safety team shares a powerful note from a family encouraged by seeing a faith-based trailer wrap during a difficult season. It’s a reminder of how small moments on the road can have a lasting impact far beyond freight.
