Every driver knows how to handle 80,000 pounds of steel down the highway—but how well do you handle your own emotions? In this episode of Strength of the Message, we dig into the difference between IQ (your intelligence quotient) and EQ (your emotional intelligence). IQ might help you pass a test, but EQ determines how you manage stress in traffic, resolve conflict with dispatch, handle loneliness on the road, and build lasting relationships at home.

We’ll explore the four core areas of emotional intelligence—self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management—and how each one applies to life behind the wheel. With real-world trucking examples, this episode equips you with tools to keep your “inner cab” as steady as your rig on the interstate.

It’s not about how smart you are—it’s about how well you steer your emotions to stay healthy, focused, and connected.
