Hart is married to prominent physician, Dr. Terry Hart of Shoals Primary Care in Sheffield.
“That’s one of many things I have to thank the Lord for is a good husband,” said Hart.
“This is our 21st year in business,” Hart continued. “We have several trucks and are now looking for more drivers,”
The ideal candidate will have a clean MVR and stability. “We provide insurance and we are one of the highest paying companies in the industry.
When asked what makes her company stand out, Hart paused a second and continued, “The employees make this trucking company what it is,” said Hart. “We try to cater to the drivers and go that extra mile for them,” ” We make sure the drivers are home with their families every weekend and that means a lot,”
