New Owners

Mark & Debbie Battle own and operate many businesses presently, but Mark's first job was working in the garage at Little Debbie baking company in Collegedale, TN. There, he washed the trucks and did some preventative maintenance. Debbie worked as an RN at the Health Department in Chattanooga, TN. But their stay was brief in Tennessee because they wanted to be near Debbie's family in Churchville, VA, where they could raise their girls. 

Mark & his brother-in-law started a construction company. Soon after realizing construction could be hard on your body and wanting to be more diverse, he bought a semi-truck from the Little Debbie Company in Tennessee. It was then that Mark and Debbie began learning about the trucking business.


His favorite part of the trucking business was hauling logs for the show called Barnwood Builders, and he made several guest appearances on the show. After acquiring seven of his own trucks, he learned about all the maintenance and repairs needed to keep them on the road. This, in turn, lead to his purchase of Eddie's Diesel in Waynesboro, VA. 


Mark and Debbie have been proud owners of the shop since January 6th. They believe that the success of the shop originates from their loyal employees. Big Daddy Diesel's customers don't seem to mind the new owners, but they certainly want our experienced, honest employees to be here when they have truck and car issues. Our success is our EMPLOYEES.
