Speaking & Workshops

Real-world trucking.
Workshops built from lived miles.

I don’t come in with canned stories from a podium. I come in as a working driver who’s seen what happens when fatigue, bad scheduling, and broken safety culture collide with the real world.

Each workshop is available in 60, 90, or 120-minute formats and tailored to your fleet, conference, or leadership team. What you get here: the high-level picture and clear outcomes – not the full slide deck.

Flagship Workshop

Driver Fatigue Management

Audience: Drivers & Safety
60 / 90 / 120 minutes Format: Interactive talk Core topic: Fatigue & risk

Fatigue isn’t a character flaw, and “just tough it out” isn’t a safety strategy. This session breaks down how fatigue really shows up on the road, why drivers under-report it, and what carriers and safety teams can actually do about it without wrecking operations.

Key outcomes
  • Drivers can name the early warning signs of fatigue before they’re in the danger zone.
  • Leaders understand how scheduling, pressure, and policy drive risky decisions.
  • Your team leaves with a short list of practical changes to reduce fatigue-related incidents.
Leadership Focus

Safety Culture Breakdown

Audience: Leadership & Safety
60 / 90 / 120 minutes Format: Case study & discussion Core topic: Culture & retaliation

On paper, every fleet says “safety first.” In practice, retaliation, dispatch pressure, and quiet corner-cutting tell a different story. This workshop uses real-world stories to show how safety culture breaks down – and how to rebuild it before you lose good drivers or end up in court.

Key outcomes
  • Leaders see how their decisions and reactions shape driver behavior more than any policy.
  • Teams can identify early warning signs of a toxic or failing safety culture.
  • You walk away with clear steps to make “safety first” more than a slogan.
Retention Masterclass (Driver’s View)

Driver Retention from the Driver’s Seat

Audience: Owners, HR & Dispatch
60 / 90 / 120 minutes Format: Talk + Q&A Core topic: Keeping good drivers

You can’t bribe your way out of bad culture with sign-on bonuses. This session walks leadership through what actually keeps drivers – respect, communication, realistic promises – and what sends them job-hunting no matter how nice the trucks are.

Key outcomes
  • Understand the gap between what drivers say in exit interviews and what they really feel.
  • Spot the everyday friction points that quietly push drivers out the door.
  • Build a simple retention plan that doesn’t start with “pay them more and hope.”
Coming Soon

Fleet Maintenance: Beyond “Run It Till It Breaks”

Audience: Owners & Maintenance
60 / 90 / 120 minutes Format: Practical breakdown Core topic: Prevention & downtime

A maintenance session focused on the real cost of “we’ll fix it when it fails” thinking – in breakdowns, driver frustration, and lost revenue – with a simple framework for smarter, safer fleet decisions.

Key outcomes (when live)
  • See how maintenance decisions show up in safety, retention, and customer relationships.
  • Understand the trade-off between short-term savings and long-term downtime.
  • Leave with a clearer picture of where to tighten up your maintenance approach.
What about rates? — Rates depend on length, travel, and whether we’re doing one session or a full day. Use the contact form and tell me what you’re planning; I’ll give you a straight answer, no games.
Do you do panels? — Yes. I’m available for panels on fatigue, safety culture, retention, mental health in trucking, and driver/leadership communication.
What about custom topics? — If it touches trucking, safety, or the human side of the job, we can talk. If I’m not the right fit, I’d rather say so than waste your time.
