What would you do if you noticed your fellow driver was in danger — and no one else knew? In this episode of Terminal Exchange, drivers Doyle Chester and Sergio Cortez share the remarkable story of how Sergio helped save Doyle's life after Doyle suffered a stroke while on the road. After experiencing weakness and loss of motor function on his left side, Doyle managed to pull into a truck stop in Lincoln — where he collapsed in his truck for nearly 10 hours. When Jenny, an account manager at Nussbaum, couldn't reach Doyle, she called Sergio, who was nearby on another delivery. Recognizing the signs of stroke — facial drooping, loss of motor control, and cognitive confusion — Sergio called 911 and stayed by Doyle's side until paramedics arrived.

In this episode of Terminal Exchange, Cory Adams, Senior Instructional Administrator at Nussbaum Transportation, shares the story behind writing CDL Exam for Dummies and his passion for developing skilled, safety focused drivers.

How can gratitude transform your perspective—even in the hardest times? In this Thanksgiving message, Jim Revelle, a chaplain serving Nussbaum Transportation through Corporate Chaplains of America, shares powerful stories of faith, resilience, and thankfulness. Jim begins with a personal account of his father’s World War II experience—being rescued from a sinking ship after a kamikaze attack—and draws parallels to spiritual rescue and salvation. He also discusses his own practice of keeping a gratitude journal, filled with hundreds of daily entries throughout the year. The centerpiece of his message is the inspiring story of Betsy and Corrie Ten Boom, Dutch sisters imprisoned in Ravensbrück concentration camp for hiding Jews during WWII.

How can you become an ideal coworker? According to The Ideal Team Player by Patrick Lencioni, you must cultivate three key virtues. In the fable, Lencioni tells the story of Jeff Shanley, a leader desperate to save his uncle’s company by restoring its cultural commitment to teamwork. Jeff and his fellow executives must crack the code on which virtues define a real team player—and then build a culture of hiring and development around those attributes. (Book description taken from Amazon) In today’s exchange, Scott Herrmann, Nussbaum’s Software Engineering Director, explores these essential traits of an ideal team player: humble, hungry, and smart. • Humble – putting others before self; not egocentric. • Hungry – eager to go above and beyond; passionate. • Smart – understands people and team dynamics; emotionally intelligent. Through humorous anecdotes and references to Patrick Lencioni's work, Scott illustrates how self-awareness and collaboration can enhance teamwork. He encourages listeners to reflect on their personal qualities and seek growth through feedback and engagement with peers. Ultimately, creating a culture of ideal team players is vital for achieving goals and fostering a positive work environment. Press play to learn more!

What’s the key to thriving in the workplace? According to The Six Types of Working Genius by Patrick Lencioni, it’s more than just doing a good job. Working Genius is a powerful tool for understanding ourselves and how we work with others. It helps us discover the stages of work that bring joy and fulfillment—and the ones that leave us feeling drained or burned out. In today’s exchange, Doug Bradle, Nussbaum’s Chief Operations Officer and certified Working Genius coach, unpacks the six stages of work: • Wonder – asking the big questions and imagining what could be. • Invention – creating brand-new solutions from scratch. • Discernment – evaluating and improving ideas with insight. • Galvanizing – rallying people and generating momentum. • Enablement – jumping in to help and provide practical support. • Tenacity – grit to push things across the finish line. The Working Genius Assessment identifies two areas of Genius—your natural gifts that bring energy and joy. It also reveals two Competencies—things you’re capable of doing and don’t mind—and two Frustrations—things you aren’t good at and naturally drain you. Using real-world examples, Doug shares how this framework can transform hiring decisions, team culture, and even how we relate to family and community. At its core, Working Genius helps us better understand what we want from our work—and what those around us want, too. Press play to learn more!
