Hazel Marshall

Hazel is the founder and visionary behind Hazel's Hot Shot.

After beginning her career with Audrey's Crafts, Hazel left Audrey’s and joined Perma Products where she was tasked with opening an Atlanta branch. Eventually, Hazel returned to Dallas, TX where she identified the need for an expedited freight carrier providing reliable and affordable deliveries on short notice. Hazel decided to strike out on her own. She bought a single Silverado pickup truck, secured her operational authority in Texas, and started thumbing through the phone book looking for possible customers.

Since the company's inception, Hazel has played an active role in setting the direction of the company. She has held every role in the company from Driver to Dispatcher to Office Manager to President. To this day, Hazel is involved in the management of the company, but after 35 years, she is finally starting to take some personal time to explore her interests in Horse Racing, reading, and playing with her great grandchildren.
