This week’s Driver Spotlight is on Fred “Butch” Houston (Tractor 630)

Butch has been driving OTR since 2013, and started with Pohl Transportation in June. Before driving, Butch owned and operated his own construction company for 10 years. Before that, Butch worked in the technology field for 30 years. Butch was in the Navy for 4 years, where he was an Atmosphere Control Specialist and stationed on a submarine. Butch said they would be under water for a 3 month stretch before resurfacing. He said they were all over the world, but didn’t get to see any of it! Thank you, Butch for your service!

In his spare time, Butch likes to play his guitar, do construction projects around the house, is active in his church and enjoys riding his Goldwing. He of course also likes spending time with his wife, Shelly, who he has been married to for 2 years now. Together they have a blended family; Shelly has a younger daughter that lives with them and Butch has 2 grown children and 2 grandkids.

In the future, Butch would like to take Shelly on a cruise, hopefully a Caribbean Cruise.

Thank you, Butch for being a part of the Pohl Transportation family.
