Three Pillars Freight

09/05/2026

Bypassing the Roberts, ID scale house while hauling doubles? Pure fantasy. So instead of praying for a green light, I pulled in running a full-blown high-fructose contraband operation.
​Marched into the lobby clutching a box of Little Bites big enough to flatten a steer tire, pretty sure I'm straight-up bribing Idaho DOT at this point. The officer finishes roasting two gravel haulers who were praying for their lives, turns the corner, spots me holding enough baked goods to cause insulin shock, and screams:
​"HOLY S**T, I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU IN A HOT MINUTE!" 🤣
​Did we check weights? Barely. We ran an illegal 15-minute muffin transaction. Handed him his scale-house survival stash, threw emergency fudge brownies at the traumatized gravel haulers on my way out to heal their soul damage, and rolled.
​Who needs PrePass when you’re a state-recognized sugar dealer? 🟢🧁💨

🛣️ The Best of Both Worlds 🛣️
​They say you can't have it all, but this lineup comes pretty close. We’ve got the fuel-sipping efficiency of the Three Pillars Freight Cascadia parked right next to the pure, old-school class of the Blue Bell Transport Peterbilts.
​It doesn't matter if you prefer the classic chrome of the 379 or the smooth aerodynamics of the 579 and the Freightliner—at the end of the day, we’re all pulling for the same team under CCL (Colton Cooper Logistics).
​The Fleet:
​Three Pillars Freight: 2023 Freightliner Cascadia (The Money Maker 💸)
​Blue Bell Transport: 2000 Peterbilt 379 & 2026 Peterbilt 579 (The Eye Candy 🍭)
​The Wind-Down: 2007 Honda Shadow Aero 🏍️
​Three trucks, two companies, one solid partnership with CCL. Keeping the wheels turning and the tradition alive.

My first-ever prison delivery: 20 tons of toilet paper for the folks at FCC Florence. In a place filled with terrorists, spies, and kingpins, I’m the guy with the real power. I’ve got the only thing in this building softer than the concrete beds. If the gates lock behind me, at least I’m the most popular guy on the block.

I’ve been so busy putting in miles that I completely forgot to post photos of the new ride. Here she is—my 2023 Freightliner Cascadia.
​Picked her up with exactly 333,555 on the dash (gotta love those lucky numbers!). She’s running like a dream and the office view isn't half bad either. 🛣️✨

Today was one of those milestone days that really hits. I officially picked up my 2023 Freightliner Cascadia, and it feels like another big step forward in building something real with Three Pillars Freight.

I ran from Denver to Salt Lake City to drop off Shane Rout his brand‑new 2026 Peterbilt 579 — and congratulations to him on that upgrade. That truck is so nice it had me questioning my loyalty. I climbed out of it like someone trying to get out of a warm bed at 4 AM. It rode so smooth I almost took a “wrong turn” on purpose just to keep driving it a little longer.

But I stayed focused. Barely.

Shane kept this Cascadia in excellent condition, and I’m committed to keeping it just as tight, clean, and well maintained as I put it to work.

And now for the real MVP — a massive thank‑you to my wife, Kachina. She’s been there through every mile, every plan, every late‑night idea, and every “babe, hear me out…” moment. I know I’m a big pain in the ass, but she still supports me, still pushes me, and still answers the phone when I call with another wild idea. Honestly, she’s probably the real boss of me AND Three Pillars Freight. At this point, I’m honestly surprised she hasn’t changed the locks on the front door yet — and I wouldn’t even blame her.

From here on out, it’s discipline, smart miles, and grinding to pay this truck off faster than required. Every load is another step toward ownership, growth, and building the legacy of Three Pillars Freight.

Thank you to everyone who’s been supporting the journey. Time to get to work and keep leveling up.

"They say all good things must come to an end, and this Friday, Jan 2nd, I’m officially turning in the keys at Thomas E. Keller. It’s been a wild, wonderful ride, but I’ve decided it’s time to stop taking orders and start giving them to myself—I’m officially going Owner-Operator!
​I’m moving on to work for a guy who is a bit of a stickler but has great hair (me), starting Jan 5th. And since my 31st birthday is just a few days later on the 8th, I’ve decided my first official act as 'The Boss' is to give myself the day off for some cake. Best promotion ever.
​Before I go, I have to give some credit to the people who kept me sane and on the road:
Tiffany Woodard : The recruiter who managed to convince me this was a good idea—turns out, she was actually right!
Brian Fry: Thanks for the onboarding help. You made sure I didn't get lost in the parking lot on day one.
​William Grohnke: Thanks for keeping the Safety department off my back and keeping me legal. I promise I’ll try to keep the rubber side down on my own watch!
​Brian Varner: To my Fleet Manager—thanks for putting up with me. I know I’m a handful, and you deserve a trophy (or at least a very long nap) for managing me.
​Keller has treated me like family and actually gave me home time when I asked—which we all know is the equivalent of a trucking miracle. I’ll miss you all, but if you see a very handsome owner-operator at the truck stop looking slightly stressed about his own repair bills, feel free to wave!
​See y'all in the fast lane!"
