Have you registered for the Kansas Motor Carriers Association Convention yet? If not, what are you waiting for?!

We've put together an incredible agenda, and I can't wait to head to Manhattan. And y'all know how we feel about Manhattan. 😆

Did you know Trooper Ben is helping us kick things off? If you don't follow him on Facebook, you're missing out on his consistent, approachable reminders about being a decent human being. His message resonates with people across every industry, and we're excited to have him join us.

But here's what I'm even more pumped about... one of our very own will be taking the stage on Thursday.

Too often, we talk about driver retention without actually inviting drivers into the conversation. Jeff Norling with Great West, An Old Republic Company will be facilitating a panel featuring one of our owner-operators, Chris San Juan, who will share why he chooses to stay and what employers can do better.

This will be an honest, no-holds-barred conversation about building better workplaces and stronger relationships with the people who keep our industry moving.

Come join us. Register today and be part of the conversation.

Have you enjoyed grass run as much as we have?

There’s nothing quite like this time of year, when cattle trucks line up across the grass pastures of the Flint Hills. There’s a certain excitement in the air—a sense of camaraderie and pride in being part of something bigger than ourselves.

Feeding the world is no small task. Feeding the world American beef is even more rewarding. Having the support of our administration to continue producing the highest-quality beef in the world is critical. This way of life depends on it.

Here’s to grass season and the American beef industry! 🇺🇸

As you know, we just moved to Main Street. Do you have a dream? Do you need a little help achieving it?

Tony is mapping Linger Links: citizen-led ventures that give young people a first job and old Main Street buildings a new one. Each one needs three things - a person who won't quit, a building that's sitting empty, and a town that's done waiting.
DM Tony a town, a building, or a person. That's how the next one starts.

Friends,

We are on day three of dangerous heat. As our producers and livestock find little relief, the picture grows increasingly difficult. Please join us in praying over our team, our producers, and everyone carrying the heavy burden of watching this relentless heat take such a toll on the animals entrusted to our care.

Lord, please watch over our drivers today. Keep them safe, healthy, and well-hydrated as they work through these dangerous conditions. Keep their equipment mechanically sound, their routes smooth and free of delays, and the animals entrusted to their care healthy enough to make the journey.

Lord, let the breeze continue to blow across these cattle. Bring them comfort in this oppressive heat, and may their time on our trailers be a small measure of relief from these miserable conditions.

St. Anthony the Abbot, patron of farmers, ranchers, and domestic animals, intercede for us. Pray for those who devote their lives to caring for God’s creatures. Watch over these animals that cannot escape the sweltering heat. Protect them from sickness and suffering, and strengthen those who are doing everything in their power to care for them.

Father, walk beside every producer, feeder, rancher, truck driver, and caretaker responsible for our livestock. Their hearts are heavy as they watch their animals endure conditions beyond anyone’s control. Grant them wisdom, discernment, and peace. Remind them that they are faithfully doing all they can for the animals and the people who depend on them. Help them lead with patience, strength, and compassion through these difficult days.

Lord, we know You hear our prayers, and we give You all the glory for every blessing You pour upon us. Continue to walk beside us through this trial. We trust in Your presence, Your provision, and Your perfect timing, knowing that this season, too, shall pass.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
