Driven for Success
Driven for Success is a podcast for trucking company owners and executives running 20–80 truck fleets who want to scale without chaos.
Hosted by Mike Ritzema, founder of Superior Trucking Payroll Service, the show focuses on what actually breaks as fleets grow—and how strong operators fix it before constant firefighting takes over.
This isn’t a motivational show and it’s not theory-heavy. Each episode is grounded in real patterns seen across hundreds of trucking companies, covering topics like:
- Where complexity quietly creeps in as you scale
- What to standardize—and what not to
- Why payroll, pay clarity, and systems become retention issues
- How to build infrastructure that supports growth instead of relying on heroics
The goal is simple: give you practical ideas you can apply immediately to run a calmer, more profitable operation.
If you’re building a trucking company that needs to work without you carrying everything on your shoulders, this show is for you.

Should truck drivers be allowed to opt out of per diem pay programs? Absolutely — but it doesn’t mean they should.
In this clip from the Driven for Success Podcast, we explain the smart way to handle driver objections, why some drivers just won’t get it, and how to communicate the value of per diem without forcing it. Plus, hear the analogy that hits harder than a flat tire at scale!
🛻 If you’re running a trucking company and trying to improve driver retention, save on taxes and insurance, and run a cleaner back office — this podcast is for you.
