Hyfield Trucking Mentor Program
Dedication. Expertise. Passion.
At Hyfield Trucking, we believe that no driver should start their expediting journey alone. That’s why we created the Hyfield Mentor Program — a proven, hands-on support system for new and experienced drivers looking to thrive in the expedited trucking industry.
Since 2016, our mentors have helped hundreds of owner-operators and team drivers succeed with carriers like FedEx Custom Critical and ArcBest (formerly Panther Premium Logistics). With 24/7 support, personalized coaching, and real-world experience, you’ll gain the knowledge and confidence to maximize your earnings and enjoy life on the road.

Our mentors are seasoned expedite drivers who help new contractors succeed faster. They share proven strategies on how to choose profitable freight lanes, manage time on the road, and stay compliant with DOT regulations — all while helping you maximize income and comfort
A mentor's expertise in navigating carrier freight lanes is crucial for making informed decisions about load offers. They bring a deep understanding of market trends, lane profitability, and operational costs, advising on the most beneficial routes and contracts. Their knowledge can help identify lucrative opportunities, avoid financial pitfalls, and optimize logistics strategies. This guidance is invaluable for maintaining competitive advantage, ensuring sustainability, and strategically expanding operations within the dynamic and often complex freight industry.
Having a mentor available 24/7 via telephone support offers unparalleled guidance and reassurance, especially in fields requiring quick decision-making or crisis management. This constant availability ensures that advice, encouragement, and critical feedback are just a call away, fostering a supportive environment that accelerates learning and enhances problem-solving skills.
A mentor in expediting can be a comprehensive resource, guiding on parking strategies, Hours of Service and DOT compliance, loading and securing freight, paperwork accuracy, trip planning, and understanding carrier jargon. Their seasoned advice ensures operational efficiency, legal adherence, and improved communication with carriers, enhancing overall performance and profitability.

Meet our Mentors
Our mentors aren’t just teachers — they’re successful expedite drivers who’ve lived the same journey you’re about to start. Each one brings years of experience, passion, and a desire to help others succeed.
Steve & Nisha
We are Steve & Nisha, also known as Therealtruckercouple! We have been expediting since 2006 and we absolutely love what we do! We just recently had our 1 year anniversary with Hyfield the beginning of March 2023. Although we came in with tons of experience, without the mentor program we would not be where we are today!
Tim & Melissa
We are Tim and Melissa and we partnered with Hyfield in 2021 without any previous trucking or expediting experience. We have loved our adventure, the amazing friends we meet along the way, and the expediting lifestyle!
Dana & Debb
Debb and I started with Hyfield 3 years ago. I was already an OTR driver and Debb came from Medical Billing and coding. We became Mentors just over a year ago. Becoming a part of the #hyfieldfamily was the best decision we’ve ever made!!
Kevin & Tammy
We started our journey in expediting with Hyfield and FedEx Custom Critical in September of 2021. Kevin had driven truck for 20 years, but I had spent the majority of that time raising our family. We absolutely love what we do now and getting to be together everyday doing it is such a bonus! Without the mentor program starting out we would have been lost. Hyfield has the best network of people willing to help with anything and everything. It’s an honor to be able to mentor others now and pay it all forward.

Joe & Ty
Joe and I were both HVAC mechanics before we made the jump into expediting with FedEx Custom Critical in 2017. We’ve been with Hyfield since 2023, and over the years we’ve learned a lot—mostly from experience, trial and error, and probably a few things the hard way. Now we get the chance to pass some of that knowledge along to new teams joining the fleet. We’re just a couple of drivers who have been doing this for a while and are happy to share what we know, answer questions, help you avoid some of the mistakes we’ve made, and be someone you can reach out to when you need another perspective.
