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.

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.
