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.
