Podcast Insights
Content Themes
The podcast focuses on topics relevant to the trucking industry, particularly the education and training of new drivers. Key episodes cover challenges like test anxiety, effective teaching strategies, mentorship importance, and the dynamics of establishing a positive driver culture. Specific examples include discussions about the transition from teacher roles to CDL educators and the curriculum at various training institutions.
Education Station is about “who’s next.” It’s a conversation with trainers, saftey experts, executives, and educational leaders about creating the future employees of the trucking industry. Methodologies of teaching, onboarding new classroom technologies, and, perhaps most importantly, imparting institutional wisdom to a new generation of trucking are all on the lesson plan.
On this edition of Education Station, Jimmy Mac talks with Michael Lasko, Assistant General Manager and Vice President of EHS and Quality at Boyle Transportation. Michael shares why investing in driver training is more than a compliance requirement—it’s an investment in drivers’ lives, careers, and trust.
They discuss mission-specific training for specialized industries like hazmat, pharmaceutical, defense, and high-security cargo, and why generic programs don’t cut it. Michael explains how individualized coaching builds confidence, retention, and stronger safety outcomes, and how Boyle Transportation has maintained an exceptional safety record through high-quality, tailored training programs.
