    Anyone have any decent audio books or podcast maybe you would recommend for this? Figure I might get some extra motivation if I start listening to them.

    Haulin' Assets is a pretty good podcast. The guy documents his whole process from getting his authority and a used truck to growing it into a fleet. I think he's up to 11 or 12 trucks now. He puts out a new episode every couple weeks.

    Critical Business Skills For Success is available on Audible. It consists of several lectures on various aspects of business.

    I listen to audio books constantly. Go to your local library and get a card, then down load an app called Liby. Both are free and you can listen for free. If the library doesn't have an audio book that you want, you can request it and they will purchase if for you. Also depending on your tastes, let me know what you like and I maybe able to make some recommendations

    Lex Friedman interviews some very interesting people from all walks of life. Recommened him for sure.. Cleared hot with Andy stumpf. Another great interview podcast.

    Business stuff. Odd lots on Bloomberg is decent.

    The passionate few with omar ellattor.. He interviews some cool rags to riches type business people..i would highly recommend the interview he did with richard montanez . went from being the janitor at frito lay to the ceo and helped create flamin hot cheetoes. Incredible story very motivational. Can find that one on youtube as well

    I think u will enjoy it.. I really got in deep on lex Friedman podcast recently. Perfect for trucking. Some of the interviews are like 3+ hours long . But it's so engaging, by the time it's over you are wishing for more.
