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.

I've had quite a few pilots in my 19yr career and I can honestly tell you that HOOT is right there at the top. Knows the routes and turns through the Montana and Idaho plains like the back of his hands. Great guy beyond that. Godly and family man and someone you'd like to call a friend. Buy Bitcoin was the advice that I took from our 11hr trip. Thanks Hoot. Look forward to doing it again sometime unless you retire of course.

I've worked with 100's of Pilot car companies over the years and I've got to say I've never worked with a more professional group then Hoots Gibson Pilot Car Service. Attention to detail and spot on execution was above and beyond my expectations.
