Hi, my name is Karen Hillen. I'm from Little Summit, PA. I've been driving truck for 31 years, the last 14 with Greatwide. I've been with my agent Brandi at GRC for over 16 years. I followed her and her dad Russ from our previous company. I told her many years ago GRC & Greatwide will be the company I retire from. A BIG thank you to both companies for hanging with me through my rough times. You're just like family. I enjoy my home time to be with my family and working for this company makes that possible.
