Derrick Only

“Trucking is the best job in the world to me.”

Professional Truck Driver
Pilot Company

  • TELL US ABOUT YOUR JOB AND HOW LONG YOU’VE BEEN DRIVING?

    I’ve been a professional truck driver for 30 years now. I work for Pilot Company as the lead driver in Denver, Colorado managing a crew of drivers and overseeing daily operations.

  • HOW DID YOU GET YOUR START IN TRUCKING?

    I made the decision to join the trucking industry after I left the military. I specialized in heavy equipment and had experience as a tank driver. With my experience, and a love for driving, long car rides and traveling, I found a career I love in trucking. Trucking is the best job in the world to me.

  • WHAT DO YOU LOVE MOST ABOUT TRUCKING?

    The ability to see America and different scenery. When you’re out on the road, that’s when you get to see America, and with trucking, you get paid to see the country.

  • DO YOU HAVE ANY FAMILY IN THE INDUSTRY?

    Yes! My two brothers and my son all drive trucks now. I kind of started a tradition! I’ve got everyone in a truck now!
