Disrupting Trucking - Brad Ball

With almost 25 years of experience, today’s guest has taken the trucking industry by storm. I was joined by Brad Ball , the president of Roadmaster Drivers School to talk about how he is disrupting the trucking industry and making it more accessible to anyone!

Takeaways:

• The top ingredient for disruption is accessibility. You need to be accessible for people to find your company.
• Once COVID hit, the trucking industry started taking a big hit. Employees close to retirement age took their retirement early, and others left their jobs, all while the e-commerce boom demanded more from truckers.?
• The trucks nowadays are much more comfortable and easier to manage than have been in previous years.?
• Trucking is an industry where there is no pay gap tied to gender or race.?
• Vocational fields are great opportunities. It takes about 4 weeks to learn how to drive a truck, and it provides a great opportunity for a career.
• Trucking is a career that is both recession proof and pandemic proof. While it was difficult during the pandemic, it was not shut down like restaurants or other lines of work.

Quote of the show:?

9:54 “We can take people that are unemployed or underemployed, regardless of your education status, and introduce a career opportunity where there is no pay gap tied to race or gender. So, essentially the opportunity is there for anyone that walks in our door, regardless of what your background is or your education history, because this industry is not looking for degrees.

This is an industry that is looking for people that have a great desire to work and are looking for an opportunity to improve their life. It's really accessible again to just about every aspect of society.”
