Welcome to my world! Before starting HiWay Hobo Pilot Service I ran a full service restaurant (Joe's Diner) in Rising Star, Texas. One summer afternoon a gentleman passing through town stopped to eat, we started talking about the type of work he was doing and the rest is history. Thank you Larry Dillon, owner of PeeWee's Pilot Service, it's all your fault. I changed from a respectable restaurant owner to a HiWay Hobo! My career as a pilot started four years ago along with my two sisters. We started out together as Knee Deep Pilot Service but we all wanted to be the boss so we went our separate ways. My sister Teresa now has her own successful business, Foot Loose Pilot Service and my other sister Judy retained ownership of Knee Deep. We are all still actively involved with each others businesses and help each other any way we can. My husband Joe drove a truck for 35 years before he gave it up to go on the road with me. Joe is an experienced tillerman and also runs height pole, lead or chase. I prefer height pole but can be persuaded to steer if needed. We like to work together whenever we can but it's not always possible. We have worked in Canada and all but 17 states in the USA and I'm sure we will eventually get to them! Some of the companies we have worked with are American Transportation, ATS, Dallas Mavis, Combined Transportation ,Burkhalter, CRST, Landstar, Lonestar Transportation, Statewide Electric, Aetna Transportation, Permian Tank, Hirschfield Steel, Louisiana Transport and Richardson Brothers Construction (Canada). |

Being a pilot car driver is a lifestyle that not everyone can embrace. For me it's exciting to wake up in a different city, state or country. I treasure the days I wake up in my own bed until I realize there will be no maid service because I am the maid! |
