Out on the road, it’s not just miles that matter — it’s the money you keep in your pocket. In this episode of The Morning Mug with Kevin, we’re talking about how truckers can keep more of their hard-earned cash without feeling like they’re missing out. From packing food in the cab to setting a truck stop budget, I’ll share real tips from my own driving days — plus a little encouragement for making your money work for you.

Life on the road can make healthy eating tough — truck stops, fast food, and long hours behind the wheel don’t always mix well with staying in shape. In this episode of The Morning Mug with Kevin, I’m sharing my plan to start eating better with a Keto/Carnivore approach, even while living the trucker lifestyle.

We’ll talk about:

• Why I’m starting this health journey now

• How to make Keto or Carnivore work in a truck

• Simple, real-world food tips for the road

• Giving yourself grace while making changes

If you’ve been thinking about making changes to your diet — whether you’re at home or hauling freight — maybe we can walk this road together. Grab your coffee and let’s talk about becoming a healthier version of ourselves, one meal at a time.

Life on the road can feel like it’s always go, go, go — but sometimes, the best thing a trucker can do is slow down. In this episode of The Morning Mug with Kevin, we talk about why taking time to relax isn’t just good for your health, it’s good for your driving, your family, and your future.

Whether you’re running hard to make a deadline or juggling life off the road, slowing down can help you see what really matters. Grab your coffee, settle in, and let’s talk about finding your “slow lane” in trucking and in life.

In this episode:

• Why slowing down makes you a better driver and person

• Practical ways to build in rest and reflection

• The long-term benefits of easing off the throttle
