“Trucking: what an industry to be in!”

CEO
Texas Auto Carriers

  • TELL US ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS.

    Texas Auto Carriers is a transport, towing and equipment hauling company that I founded with my husband in 1984. We are the quintessential small business story, sort of the American dream. We were young, and we started a business, and we’ve raised our children while owning and operating a business in trucking. It’s an incredible story, building your business and now it’s this big, successful business.

  • WHAT DO YOU ENJOY MOST ABOUT YOUR JOB?

    The people. I like being able to come to work, walk in and shake hands and talk to drivers and staff on a regular basis. I’ve been in business long enough that I’ve been able to see a generation grow up. My salesperson’s dad drove for me through the 80s and 90s. I’ve watched the salesperson grow up, and now she’s in sales, so that’s very rewarding to me, to know that I produced something that supported families; that they raised their families by being employed by us. I take that very seriously.

  • WHAT DO YOU ENJOY MOST ABOUT WORKING IN TRUCKING?

    Trucking: what an industry to be in. Literally everything you own is moved by a truck! It is rewarding being in the industry because it is the lifeblood of our country.

  • WHY SHOULD MORE WOMEN JOIN THE TRUCKING INDUSTRY?

    I think it’s important because I believe that women bring a different perspective to the table. I see women joining this industry rapidly. I think that in the past, it has been primarily a male dominated industry and the barrier was there, but women are breaking barriers currently in our culture, in all industries. There are jobs for all women in trucking. From jobs as drivers, to office staff, to C-Suite level positions, to business owners.
