In this episode, we are talking about the power of mentorship: why a carrier that genuinely cares about a driver's journey creates lasting success, and how great recruiting goes far beyond filling seats. It's about seeing potential, breaking down barriers, making yourself a little uncomfortable, and matching the right person with the right opportunity. In our conversation, host Kelsey Hipkin chats with Brent Bell , General Commodities Relocation Engineer with Action Transportation, and AMTA's 2026 Professional Truck Driving Championship Fred Deddle Rookie Award winner, as well as Lisa Thompson , National Sales Executive with Adecco, and AMTA's Josh Hannaberry , Senior Advisor of Strategic Partnerships. Our guests share their stories and explore how investing in people, not just positions, builds stronger carriers, stronger companies, and a stronger industry. If you have any questions or concerns about topics related to what was discussed in this episode, or commercial transportation and driver safety, please do not hesitate to contact our Member Services team at memberservices@amta.ca . AMTA will release its 2027 Education Course Calendar at the end of September.
