Beyond The Truck Podcast with Jerry Curl

Send us Fan Mail Gratitude is more than a positive thought. It is a mindset, a choice, and a daily decision that changes how we see life, how we treat people, and how we respond to challenges. In this episode of Beyond the Truck , we break down why gratitude is one of the most powerful prescriptions for negativity, fear, anger, stress, and discouragement. You cannot be fully grateful and negative...

Send us Fan Mail Culture is not just one thing we talk about — culture is everything we live out. It is the shared beliefs, core values, standards, habits, disciplines, and daily behaviors that shape who we are, how we lead, how we work, and how we show up in life. In this episode of Beyond the Truck , we break down the truth that culture is either created by default or developed by design. Every...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Beyond the Truck , we break down the importance of a foundational belief system . This is not about religion.

Just like a truck must have a strong frame to carry the load, your life must have a firm foundation to carry respon...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we confront a powerful truth: there is nothing wrong with you. The old version of you may still live inside, whispering comfort, fear, and stagnation, trying to pull you back into the life you are working to outgrow. But growth requires leadership over that voice. This episode is about silencing the noise, rising above old patterns, and choosing—day by day—to beco...

Send us Fan Mail This week, we start where real transformation begins: the mind. Before health changes on the outside, it has to be addressed on the inside. The way we think drives the way we choose, and the way we choose drives the way we live. For professional drivers, health challenges rarely come from one major event. They come from the cumulative effect of long hours sitting, poor sleep, chro...

Send us Fan Mail Today is your day to reset, refocus, and start building the life and health you know you were created for. A new week is not just another seven days on the calendar. It is a fresh lane, a new route, and a new opportunity to move in a better direction physically, mentally, and spiritually. In this episode, we talk about how the way you start your week sets the tone for everything t...

Send us Fan Mail Your health is not built in one workout or one meal. It is built across decades. In this episode, we break down the importance of understanding how physical activity and nutrition must evolve through your 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, and 70s. Each season of life has a different performance objective. In your younger years, the mission is to build strength, endurance, and healthy habit...

Send us Fan Mail Change is not the real fear. The real fear is the story we create about what waits for us on the other side of change. Too often, we suffer twice—once in our mind, and again in real life—because we imagine loss, failure, rejection, or discomfort before we ever take the first step. In this episode, we break down how fear grows in the unknown, how the mind can build false outcomes,...

Send us Fan Mail Change is possible, but it does not begin on the outside. It begins in the mind. In this episode of Beyond the Truck, we address a foundational truth: if you want to change the direction of your life, you must first change the thinking that is steering it. Just like a truck will only go where the driver points it, your life will follow the direction of your mindset, your habits, a...

Send us Fan Mail Pressure is not your enemy. Pressure is a necessary part of life. In this episode of Beyond the Truck , we break down why pressure is not something to fear, but something to understand, manage, and use. Just like steam can power a locomotive, air pressure supports the load in your tires, and boost pressure creates the horsepower to move a truck forward, the pressure in life can bu...

Send us Fan Mail S eries: ECM Reprogramming | Beyond The Truck In today’s episode, we execute a critical system audit—identifying and eliminating the corrupted mental files that are silently limiting your growth. As professional drivers, you operate high-performance equipment every day. You wouldn’t allow faulty data to guide your route, your safety, or your delivery. Yet many are still operating...

Send us Fan Mail Your internal operating system is not accidental—it’s been programmed over years of experiences, environments, and repeated thoughts. For professional drivers, that programming often comes from long hours, isolation, pressure, and survival-mode decision making. But here’s the reality: Some of that programming is outdated. Some of it is limiting. And some of it is no longer aligned...

Send us Fan Mail Habits do not form accidentally. They form intentionally. The old habits will fight back. Comfort will whisper. Excuses will sound logical. This is where discipline separates from desire. You must fight for the habit before it becomes automatic. Discipline today prevents regret tomorrow. You are not just changing behavior. You are reshaping who you are. THRIVE TO BE ALIVE Support...

Send us Fan Mail Identity is not declared — it is demonstrated. In an industry where long hours, isolation, and fatigue are normalized, it’s easy to believe that change requires a massive overhaul. But the truth is far more practical and far more powerful: your life is shaped by the small decisions you make every single day. This episode breaks down a simple but transformative principle — every ac...

Today, protect the culture with your actions. Support your teammates. Speak with respect. Lead with professionalism. Support the show Contact our Team at:  email; thrive@beyondthetruck.com

Send us Fan Mail Every professional driver understands one critical truth: before a truck is ever built, there must be a blueprint. The same principle applies to life. Your beliefs are the blueprint for the person you are becoming. What you repeatedly tell yourself becomes the internal operating system that guides your decisions, your discipline, your habits, and ultimately your destiny. If your b...

Send us Fan Mail In the trucking industry, it’s easy to measure life by miles, loads, paychecks, and job titles . But those things are not the true measure of a person. The real measure is WHO you are . In this powerful episode, we explore the difference between the “What” and the “Who.” The What is your truck, your title, your income, your reputation. The Who is your character, integrity, discipl...

Send us Fan Mail When we are young, we often measure our worth by what the world can see—money, possessions, titles, image, and outward success. But as life moves forward, perspective changes. The odometer keeps turning, the clock keeps moving, and we begin to understand that real value was never external. It was always internal. In this episode of Beyond The Truck , we talk about the shift that c...

Send us Fan Mail When life puts pressure on you, what comes out of you reveals what has been living inside you all along.

In this episode, we challenge professional drivers and everyday leaders alike to examine what rises...

Send us Fan Mail Attention is one of the most valuable resources you possess. Every day, thousands of things compete for it - notifications, news, social media, negativity, comparison, and distractions. But professional drivers understand a simple rule of the road: Where your eyes go, the truck goes. The same is true for your life. Where your attention goes, your future follows. Focus on distracti...
