  • “The Trucking Godmother”

Known as the “Trucking Godmother,” Vaiva arrived with one bag and no English — and scaled her own fleet to 137 trucks. Now she teaches the little guys to do the same.

Twenty-five years ago, Vaiva arrived in this country with her mother and sister — one bag, no language, no friends, and no safety net. What she did have was a dream: the American dream. That single decision to leave everything behind became the foundation for everything she’d go on to build.

“With the right systems, anything is possible.”

    Into trucking

    Vaiva stepped into the trucking industry as an assistant at a small trucking company. She wasn’t just there to do a job — she was there to learn everything she possibly could, because she already knew she’d have her own trucking company one day. Every piece of knowledge she gathered, she held onto with purpose.

    Six trucks to 137

    Vaiva bought her first six trucks — the real starting point of her own fleet. From there, she partnered with a local dealership and built a lease-to-purchase option for drivers, a model that let her scale from those first six trucks all the way to a 137-truck fleet. With big ambition, a clear goal, and the right systems in place, she proved her belief: with the right systems, anything is possible.

    From trucking to technology

    Vaiva started a new journey — helping truckers retire. For owner-operators who were ready to leave the trucking business, she began helping them sell their companies the right way. That work became the foundation for her first technology company, Domilea.

  4. Today

    Trucker College

    Vaiva’s passion has always been helping people — and that passion led her to found Trucker College, built for the “little guys,” the drivers and small trucking companies working to succeed and scale. For any truck driver who wants to grow their business and finally become the CEO of their own life, Trucker College is designed as a one-stop shop: a place to skip years of learning the hard way, and instead gain the guidance to learn it all in a matter of weeks.
