Mike Ritzema – President & Founder
Mike started his career in accounting and eventually became CFO of an 80-truck trucking company with a thriving brokerage. That experience made one thing clear — no payroll company understood trucking well enough to actually help. So he built one. Superior Trucking Payroll Service was founded specifically to serve the trucking families that generic payroll providers consistently failed.
Every Tuesday Mike hosts Driven for Success, a podcast for trucking company owners. Over 35 episodes covering payroll, per diem, driver retention, and running a better trucking business. Find the podcast here or on your podcast player of choice.
