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.

S1 E10 Should You Keep Payroll for Your Trucking Company In-House or Use a Service?
Payroll is one of the most important — and stressful — parts of running a trucking company. The big question: should you keep it in-house, or hand it off to a service?
In this episode of Driven for Success, Mike breaks down the real pros and cons of both options and shares a framework to help small fleets decide what’s right for them.
You’ll learn:
• Why in-house payroll looks cheaper but often costs more
• The risks of staff turnover, payroll errors, and data security issues
• How outsourcing can save time, reduce compliance headaches, and scale with your fleet
• Key questions to ask before making the decision
If payroll keeps pulling you away from growing your business, this episode will help you rethink how you’re managing it.
