Mike Stumreiter

Happy New Year!Kick off the new decade with a two-part series from Nussbaum driver Mike Stumreiter. In part one, Mike laughs through his “young and dumb” days of flying by the seat of his pants across the country, foregoing logbooks, and running heavy – really heavy.But before long, the tone changes, the banter slows, and a haunting story emerges.Ignite your humanity as Mike relives the reckless days of his youth up to the gut-wrenching climax that is sure to make you catch your breath.Put an end to complacency. Don’t break the law. Value life.Quotes“From that point, I was dead set, ‘I don’t want this B anymore.’ It was boring. It was just an over-sized station wagon. I don’t want to do this anymore.”“I knew all the warning signs, but yeah, yeah, yeah, it’s never going to happen to me.”“’Whoaaaa, he’s going to miss the stop sign.’ And I’m predicting where he’s going to end up if he stops NOW.”“I got out the words before the point of contact, ‘This is going to be bad. This is going to be…’”“Don’t get complacent about what you’re hauling. What you’re hauling is larger than you think.”“When you think you’re in control of 80,000 pounds, you’re really not.”“Once you start driving that slow, man, will you ever see how dangerous it is out in the real world.”LinksEp. 38 // By Peer Request, AJ Edgington

We’re back this week with an even-keel trainer and Road Captain that also can’t be trusted with a taser.Jeff Jackson inspires with a pep talk on Nussbaum as a company and how proud he is to be a part of it but also spices up the conversation with stories from four years in the Marine Corps and 15 years as a Firearms Instructor for the nearby Pekin Police Department.We’ll talk trucking (of course), but we’ll also sit entranced as Jeff relives the scary moments of law enforcement alongside the belly-laughing, I-can’t-believe-that-happened funny side of law enforcement.Have a seat and enjoy this episode of Terminal Exchange with Nussbaum driver, Jeff Jackson.Quotes“In the squad car – once you get your vest on and all your equipment, you’re kind of crammed in there.” “And if you squinted your eyes just right at night, the sand looked like snow… It was the most meaningful Christmas.”“I knew I wanted to go into law enforcement since I was four years old. You can’t become a police officer until you’re 21. So, what better thing to do than join the marines, right?”“My brother and me, we were actually both over in the Persian Gulf at the same time, too.”“I had always wondered if I could do it. I think a lot of people wonder that. Can I drive something that big? That far? Safely?”“But, I did taze one of my best friends on accident. That’s a pretty good story.”“I told him, ‘I just tazed Baxter.’ And he just starts laughing and goes, ‘Did you give him the full five seconds??’ And that’s when it hit me that I did – that I could have turned it off! And I said, ‘Yeah, I guess I did!’ And he high-fived me.”“The first thing anybody notices about Nussbaum is how nice everybody is. It’s like you’re waiting for the other shoe to drop.”LinksBy Peer Request, AJ Edgington

Standing up for what you believe in can cause your knees toclick together with quakes – it’s not without a little anxiety that Nussbaumhas declared their faith. Hear Nussbaum’s CEO, Brent Nussbaum, retell the storyof how using trucking as a platform for faith began.It’s Always BeenFaith &amp; FamilyCelebrating Faith &amp; Family has been the core of Nussbaum Transportation since its beginning in 1945 with Alden Nussbaum, Brent’s father. One man, one truck, and 7 kids – he started this business on faith to support his family. Forgiveness Brings FreedomBitterness, resentment, grudges… our world is all too fullof negativity. But Brent had a dream to celebrate the freedom that forgiveness– from Jesus to family to acquaintances – brings us all.
