Back to EpisodesBeyond The Truck With Kevin Bruns Singing Trucker
Description
Great trucking careers are built on more than horsepower. They’re built on the right people, the right culture, and the confidence to bet on yourself. Jerry Curl sits down with Kevin Bruns for a conversation about leaving a stable path to chase ownership, finding the right fit in a family-owned company, and why the best drivers are really operators - professionals who know how to build a business, protect their reputation, and keep moving forward.
You’ll discover:
- Why Kevin left Hoffman and what pushed him back toward owning his own truck
- How fraud, broker hesitation, and rising transparency make it harder for new carriers to earn trust
- What Bennett Family of Companies does differently for owner operators, from insurance and plates to permits and back-office support
- How Kevin turned singing and trucking into a positive social media brand with real reach
- Why the road gets better when you control your health, your environment, and your mindset
Jerry and Kevin also get real about the loneliness of trucking, the value of human connection, and why the industry needs more companies that actually help drivers succeed. They talk about family culture, safety, pride in your equipment, and what it means to work for a company that still feels personal in a world that often doesn’t .Kevin shares how Bennett Motor Express, Bennett Heavy Haul, and the broader Bennett Family of Companies create a path for drivers who want to grow, specialize, and build something lasting. If you’re thinking about ownership, looking for a stronger fit, or just need a reminder that trucking can still be a rewarding lifestyle, this one hit home.
Essential listening for owner operators, specialized haulers, and anyone who wants the real story behind what makes a trucking career thrive.
