Matt Zarras, Vice President of Recruiting at Dart Transit made a life-changing decision when he saw Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) change his Dad's life. Matt will be running the 2023 New York City Marathon on November 5 to raise funds and awareness of the little-known disease.

Darin and Beach talk with Matt about his journey from "couch to marathon" and the real-life challenges that such an endeavor creates. The current state of truck driver recruiting is discussed, and we learn that Beach may have bought “energy gum” from a guy in an alley at a recent truck show.

Darin and Matt are back again with their best guest yet....themselves!

From February to May each year in the trucking industry, it is "show season". The Recruitment and Retention Conference, the Mid-America Trucking Show, the Tenstreet Users Conference, and the CVTA Spring Session are all discussed and reviewed.

The CVTA Spring Session is also where their Board of Directors is elected, and our very own Matt Beach is on the ballot for one of the seats. The role of the CVTA and its members is discussed, and Darin tries to convince Beach that this could be a stepping stone to Pennsylvania Avenue. Beach is not so sure...

Scott Dismuke, VP of Operations at PDA joins the show. Based in Brentwood, Tennessee, PDA’s mission is to change the landscape of the transportation industry by offering comprehensive retention programs, rehire programs and actionable driver data that helps trucking companies keep and rehire drivers.

Scott discusses and shares insights of the PDA 4Q 2022 Report, and how every trucking company can use the data to help in their own retention issues.
