How can your State Representative best serve you? One of the youngest elected officials in North Carolina history traces his passion for service to his college years, while earning his Bachelor’s degree in Political Science and a Minor in Economics - Rep. Jake Johnson knew if you wanted results, you needed to take action, and at age 22 he took on the challenge of public service. In particular, Jake is looking out for the rural communities and the drain from their workforce. He wants to provide the basic infrastructure that will encourage the next generation of talent to come back to the community and help build a stronger future. “I can’t fix a problem that I don’t know about.” - whether you are a trade association, in education, or a trucking business owner, Jake encourages everyone to reach out to their State Representative and start a dialogue so your duly elected official can listen and take action. This episode is a discussion about the future - if Rep. Jake Johnson can help your business or county with something, what would it be?

One of the most diverse workforces in the United States right now would be the trucking industry. Take some time to talk to a truck driver today, and ask them about their life story - you’ll meet retired CPAs, nurses, veterans, and just about anyone from every walk of life. Each driver comes with a unique story from their previous careers, beautiful things they’ve seen on the road, and challenges from other motorists. There is always a rich story to uncover. FreightWorks’ own Claims Specialist James Reidy has had a front-row seat to the stories of so many truck drivers, and this point-of-view on the truck driver life allows him to have a deeper appreciation and connection to the drivers. His work has given him access to some of the problems that drivers had to troubleshoot, and the challenges they’ve overcome, and he can’t help but give the ultimate respect to America’s truck drivers. This episode will show you why truck drivers should be appreciated all the more - join the conversation here on Life By The Mile, delivered by FreightWorks.
