Drive for freedom; Style to make people feel pretty
Tammy Hillenburg grew up here where her great-grandfather, grandfather, and father all drove milk trucks.
As a little girl, she remembers riding with her dad in his truck. Today, Hillenburg keeps tradition alive with her brother, Tim Hillenburg, who drives a milk truck every day in Pleasant Hope. She started riding with her dad to learn the business four years before he died in 2004 and then inherited his truck.
“I never thought I could do it,” Hillenburg said about driving the 60,000-pound truck. “But my dad knew I could do it.” Hillenburg’s father would say if any girl can do it, she could.
After taking over her father’s milk truck, Hillenburg continued helping people in a different way: She also cuts hair. For 18 years, she has enjoyed making people pretty as a hairstylist.
