Driven for Success
If you run a small trucking company — whether you’ve got one truck or forty — and want to run a smoother, smarter business, you’re in the right place.
I’m Mike Ritzema, founder of Superior Trucking Payroll Service, and each week I break down the business side of trucking: payroll, per diem, driver recruiting and retention, and all the back-office stuff that small carriers just don’t have time for.
You’ll get real-world stories, straight talk, and practical tips to help you avoid costly mistakes, stay on the road, and grow with confidence.
