What if the future of trucking isn’t just about technology, but about people?

In this episode of On the Front Line, I sit down with Ben Greenberg, President & CEO of the North Carolina Trucking Association, for a conversation about the human side of leadership, the role of kindness in business, and how AI and innovation are reshaping the trucking industry.

We talk about:

  • Why kindness still matters in leadership
  • Building trust in a high-pressure industry
  • The role of AI in transportation and logistics
  • Innovation without losing the human connection
  • Supporting drivers, families, and frontline teams
  • The future of trucking leadership

Ben shares a powerful perspective on balancing technology and progress with empathy, relationships, and service to others, reminding us that industries move forward best when people stay at the center of the mission.

This episode is about more than trucking. It’s about leadership, humanity, and preparing for the future without forgetting the people who make it possible.

🎙️ On the Front Line is where we have real conversations about leadership, growth, and the people behind the work that keeps America moving.
