Скачать или смотреть Episode 99: The Standard Behind Great Heavy Haul

In this episode of the Keep Trucking Personal podcast, Tyler Kivi pulls back the curtain on what really separates successful heavy haul operations from the rest of the industry. While the massive loads, multi-axle setups, escorts, and police details grab attention, Tyler explains that heavy haul isn’t difficult because it’s flashy or oversized... it’s difficult because the margin for error is razor thin.

Drawing from real-world experience across dispatch, operations, project planning, and time behind the wheel, he breaks down why planning, discipline, and clear communication matter more than speed or horsepower. From permits and routing across multiple states to weather windows, crane schedules, and site access, one missed detail can cascade into costly delays felt most by the driver. Tyler emphasizes that the best heavy haul moves aren’t exciting at all... they’re boring, predictable, and intentional.

He also offers perspective for drivers looking to transition into heavy haul, why hiring and training matter, and why “being ready” is about mindset and preparation, not just experience. The takeaway is simple but powerful: when a heavy haul move goes exactly as planned, it isn’t luck, it’s the result of disciplined work done long before the truck ever turns a wheel. This episode reflects the standards and values behind Kivi Bros. Trucking and the belief that boring, well-communicated freight moves are the real mark of professionalism.
