Manage episode 464006727 series 3635972
On this episode of Taking the Higher Road, we're revisiting a standout conversation with Tracy Rushing, Executive Director of Safety and Recruiting at RE Garrison, and a 2024 Influential Woman in Trucking.
Originally aired as an insightful look into driver recruiting, retention, and wellness, this episode highlights Tracy’s mission to create a destination employer—where every employee plays a role in supporting drivers. She shares how RE Garrison’s approach to driver relationships, technology, and culture fosters long-term success in an evolving industry.
Tracy and host Jeremy Reymer also dive into Project 61, a movement tackling the trucking industry’s unspoken epidemic: the alarming 61-year life expectancy of CDL drivers. They explore the responsibility companies have in improving driver wellness, practical steps for healthier lifestyles on the road, and how a simple mindset shift can make a lasting impact.
Whether you’re hearing this conversation for the first time or revisiting it, expect powerful insights on leadership, driver well-being, and the future of trucking.
