About the Owner
Ed Painter, owner of ASAP Pilot Car Services, spent many years as a prairie farmer, so mechanical knowledge and a resourceful nature are part of who he is. As a trucker, he has hauled loads into the Northwestern U.S. as well as across Canada. Mountain roads or endless flat plains – he’s driven them all, in every season.
He also knows how to be resourceful, whether he’s caught in a blizzard in northern mining country or getting an over-wide load over a narrow bridge on a detour.
