Committed to the philosophy of “working smarter, not harder”, Phyllis Adams entered the construction business in 1992 with one dump truck, a few thousand dollars, a father who was a self-made success in the construction business – and a fear of failure that proved to be her greatest motivator. Immersing herself in the dump truck business, Phyllis quickly recognized that many of her fellow truckers had difficulty juggling the business side of trucking while actually driving ten to twelve hours a day. Sensing a promising niche, she began as a business manager for those truckers – locating and scheduling work for them, invoicing their clients, collecting their receivables, and sending them a paycheck every week. Her idea soon caught on and Phylway was off and running.
When Hurricane Andrew wreaked havoc across South Louisiana, Phyllis poured her efforts into the clean-up phase in the wake of the storm, acquiring additional equipment and expanding her operation. She used that same equipment to make the transition into a few small water and sewer contracts once the clean-up had been accomplished – and the diversification of her business was underway. Gradually, as the contracts began to get larger, it was only natural that Phyllis would follow her father’s footsteps into highway and heavy construction – and Phylway Construction has continued to grow and prosper ever since.
