Fleet doesn’t always look the way people expect it to. And Misty Langford is living proof. In this episode of Faces of Fleet, Lauren Fletcher sits down with Misty, founder of Bleat, to talk about a life shaped by trucking, data, curiosity, and a few unexpected detours along the way.
From growing up as the daughter and granddaughter of truck drivers to earning the CB handle “Bean Dip Kid,” Misty shares how early experiences in the cab shaped her understanding of trucks, cities, and how vehicles interact with the world around them.
You’ll hear the story of how hitchhiking led her straight into a 17-year chapter in Las Vegas, complete with a career, a family, and the foundation for her work as a life coach supporting executive women. That experience ultimately inspired the Amazing Woman program, helping women create systems, discipline, and real change in their lives.
Misty also walks through the decision to build an app for fleets, why the old “How Am I Driving?” sticker needed a rethink, and how technology can be used not just to report problems, but to recognize the positive impact truck drivers make every single day.
Along the way, she opens up about imposter syndrome, building tech as a woman in fleet, and why trucking and fleet continue to be one of the most unexpected, innovative industries out there.
