In honor of Veteran’s Day, we wanted to do a special Q&A with one of our veterans: John Vesey.
John has worked for Hirschbach for about 5 ½ years in a variety of positions from lease operator to fuel and routing specialist to running the recruiting trailer to managing cargo trailers.
We recently virtually sat down with John to hear about his winding path through Hirschbach and his experience in the Navy.
As the leaves on the trees start turning colors and the weather gets colder, it’s time to start preparing ourselves for winter. While that may include pulling out decorations and favorite recipes for some, for truck drivers it means finding the best ways to stay safe and healthy while out on the road.
With the ongoing pandemic, prepping for winter drives may look a little differently than years past.
Here are 5 tips for staying healthy on the road this winter:
You may know him as Wild Beard. Or Josiah Henry. No matter which, he is a great addition to the Hirschbach team and Bianca Sanchez, Hirschbach Marketing and Social Media Manager, was thrilled to have him on Hirschbach’s “What’s Your Drive?” podcast.
Wild Beard has been entertaining his own audience on his YouTube Channel, but sat down and talked to Bianca about his journey to financial freedom through his trucking job with Hirschbach.
Here is what he had to say.
With growing concerns in our world on the tragic events that have taken place so far in 2020, let's focus on coming together. Let’s come together to lend a helping hand, to reach out, to make a new friend. Let's come together to change for the good.

Keith Allison has been on the road since 1989 and his appreciation for the trucking industry and his life shine through whenever you talk to him.
Pick up some pearls of wisdom from Keith as he talks to Bianca Sanchez, Hirschbach Marketing and Social Media Manager, about his 32 years of experience over the road, why safety is so important, and his thoughts on being successful in this industry in this interview for Hirschbach’s What’s Your Drive podcast.
Days have stretched into weeks. Weeks are now stretching into months. COVID-19 has completely created an adjusted lifestyle for all of us.
Some of us can't get away from home, while others are afraid to go home. Some of us can't get enough alone time, while others are feeling more isolated than ever.
A common slogan has been "We're all in this together" and while that is true, we have different perspectives and experiences through the pandemic.
It can be challenging, but one of the best things we can do is attempt to keep a positive outlook and take care of ourselves.
Here are four tips to keep a strong mind during COVID-19:
It’s true: laughter is strong medicine. It draws people together in ways that trigger healthy physical and emotional changes in the body. Laughter strengthens your immune system, boosts mood, diminishes pain, and protects you from the damaging effects of stress. Nothing works faster or more dependably to bring your mind and body back into balance than a good laugh. Humor lightens your burdens, inspires hope, connects you to others, and keeps you grounded, focused, and alert. It also helps you release anger and forgive sooner.
With so much power to heal and renew, the ability to laugh easily and frequently is a tremendous resource for surmounting problems, enhancing your relationships, and supporting both physical and emotional health. Best of all, this priceless medicine is fun, free, and easy to use.
Life has been a bit of a whirlwind for Hirschbach team drivers Ed and Tracy Zimmerman since recently receiving the 2019 TCA Highway Angels of the Year. At the core, the Zimmermans are just two people who helped out because they thought it was the right thing to do.
