About Us

The Kith and Kin Experience

We’re not just a trucking company — we’re a family on the road, proudly based in Escanaba, Michigan.

At the heart of our operation are the brother-sister duo Patrick Hood, driver and co-owner, and Danielle Chilson, dispatcher and co-owner. Together, we run a small, family-operated refrigerated trucking business built on trust, hard work, and the strong values we’ve grown up with. Whether it’s navigating long hauls or coordinating every detail from home base, we work side by side to make sure each load is handled with care, precision, and respect.

And riding along for the adventure is Spazy — The Nomadic Dog, our loyal co-pilot and morale booster who keeps things light no matter the weather.

Being a small team means you’re working directly with the folks who truly care about your freight and your schedule. We take pride in offering honest, personalized service rooted in family values and Upper Peninsula grit. From our family to yours — thanks for trusting us with your business.
