About Us

Over 600,000 miles and with no incidents.

Hoot operates under a dual mandate...Protect the load as well as the public. Not all pilots carry adequate insurance to both protect the property of others, but the load as well. It is critically important for transport carriers to know that the pilot operator they hire carries general liability insurance in addition to commercial auto insurance. After calling me for a quote, you might find another pilot for a few pennies less per mile, but ask them, "do you have at least $1 million in Commercial and General Liability insurance?"

Utah scales certified for required pilot car equipment.
