Beth Smothers is the Transportation Manager for HFC Trucking, where she oversees and assists in the daily operations of over-the-road (OTR) drivers and the dry van fleet. With more than 15 years of experience in the transportation industry, Beth brings a well-rounded background in management, recruiting, and logistics.
A native of a small town in Southern Indiana, Beth earned her Bachelor of Science in Animal Science with a minor in Equine Science from Murray State University. She began her career in driver recruitment for a fleet of 1,100 trucks and transitioned into roles in logistics and operations as her knowledge and leadership skills continued to grow.
Beth thrives in the fast-paced world of transportation, where attention to detail, clear communication, and adaptability are key. She is passionate about the role trucking plays in connecting people and businesses, supporting jobs, and moving essential goods across the country. She’s especially motivated by the hard-working drivers and customers she works with daily, who make the industry’s success possible.
Outside of work, Beth enjoys barrel racing, rodeo competitions, trail riding—anything equine-related. A fun fact: her grandparents once owned and operated a trucking company, and although she hadn’t planned on following in their footsteps, the road led her right back to where she was meant to be.
Trucking is a 24/7 operation, and Beth is always available by phone at (731) 208-7616. Shippers in the Paris area looking for a dependable carrier or transportation quote are encouraged to reach out—Beth would be happy to discuss how HFC Trucking can help meet their hauling needs.
