"Third Generation Entrepreneur"

Pullen's Tour Charter Bus Company was built on a long history of successful entrepreneurs. Being a third generation business owner, Hornett Pullen Knows firsthand about the power of having a vision. His grandfather, Samuel Pullen, began his entrepreneurial enterprise on a 100-acre farm in North Carolina. Utilizing all of his resources, he rented out blocks of land to farmers for raising crops and livestock and sold wood to the local paper manufacturing mill.

Being a gifted man who lived the principles of the Bible, he instilled in his children, seven boys and four girls, the importance of humility and having the courage to follow their dreams. With this strong upbringing not being deterred by obstacles or negative circumstances, his sons moved out of North Carolina to pursue unknown opportunities in Baltimore.

From hauling steel for Bethlehem Steel to operating a charter bus company, despite many barriers since the fifties, the Pullen family had been associated with transportation industry.   But in 1992, due to declining health and overwhelmed owners, Pullen's Tours was sold.

"The Dream Rekindled"

In 1996 while volunteering to drive the bus to Orlando for a Baptist Convention, Hornett Pullen noticed a "for sale sign" on an old bus. On this sweltering August day, amidst tired church goers with their itineraries, he began to visualize white sparkling buses emblazon with the family name on the side carrying excited passengers to desired destinations. Reflecting upon the rich heritage of his family, he says, My grandfather planted a seed from the womb, cultivated it, and gave us a strong legacy to build our future upon. Being highly motivated by the clarity of this calling, with fierce determination, lots of prayer, and even overcoming financial obstacles, "Pullen's Tour Service Incorporated," a charter bus company, was bought into fruition in the winter of 1996.

With a humble beginning of one old bus, this fine company has transformed into a luxurious three-bus charter company seating fifty-seven people and performing subcontract work for clientele as diverse a s the National Football League to the Presidential Cup Association in Manassa Virginia. Locally, schooled children visiting the Baltimore Zoo, and church groups have been served as well. When asked about his success, he responds meekly, "I just want to operate a successful business, being able to give back to the community which has given me so much."

So if you are planning a trip to see whales in Novia Scotia or the changing leaves on the Beautiful Skyline in the Blue Ridge Mountains, contact Hornett Pullen at (410) 242-4500 or (410) 247-0556 to book a tour.
