Employee Testimonials

I am a former teacher who left the teaching profession in 2019 in order to team drive with my husband. Great thing about being a teacher is you get to build relationships. The great thing about being a Blackhawk team member is you get to continue to build relationships through driving. As a result, my relationship with my husband is stronger than ever, and our family financial goals are now being achieved. Blackhawk is a family of relationships, and Blackhawk makes America a better place one stop at time.
