Listen "New Shop, New Era"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textA storage unit can only take you so far. We finally planted roots with a real two-bay shop—and the difference is immediate: safer turnarounds, faster service, organized parts, and a driver lounge built for actual rest. We break down the search in a booming Columbus market, why so many “perfect” buildings failed the test, and how we ended up with the right mix of space, power, and potential to scale our Tech Ops the way drivers deserve.Inside, we tour the upgrades that matter most. Heavy-duty pallet shelving for clean inventory. A real steel workbench for vice-and-hammer fixes. An 80-gallon compressor and manifold plan so impact tools replace dead batteries and slow hands. And the big one: solving tire pressure right at the shop, turning dangerous 80s on steers into safe 120s before anyone hits the road. Safety isn’t a slogan when you cut the risk of blowouts and wasted miles just by having the right gear in the right place.We also made the space livable. Fast T-Mobile business internet to power iPads, updates, and calls. An 86-inch TV for sports in 4K. Laundry, coffee, tea, and clean water so downtime feels like downtime. The goal is simple: reduce friction for drivers while we do the work—swap a microwave, replace dock bumpers, or prep a truck for its next team. Plus, we’re gearing up for community: weekend cookouts, casual meetups, and a place where road stories meet good food. Speaking of food, we detour through Louisiana staples, low-glycemic Parish Rice, and a spirited fried chicken debate, because culture and community fuel the work just as much as tools and torque.Want more of this behind-the-scenes journey as we build?
