Travis Burgett was born in Lexington, Kentucky, and raised in Walton and Verona, in Northern Kentucky. He grew up around the trucking industry as his grandfather was a truck driver. Because of that, Travis has always had a fascination with trucking. He attended the University of Kentucky and received a bachelor’s degree in economics and finance and then a master’s degree in accounting and finance. Right out of college, Travis went to work in the healthcare industry. After about 15 years of climbing the ladder, he branched out on his own and launched his first company focused on corporate wellness. He worked hard to build the business to the point where he could hand it off and let his team run it. Looking for a new opportunity, Travis happened to meet the founder of HHO Carbon Clean Systems, Jared English, and was impressed with the innovative business model. “I wanted to get into something that was in the early stages, something that was technology-based,” Travis said. “I went through the evaluation process and really liked what HHO Carbon Clean Systems was all about.” The company had only been in business since 2020, and the growth potential was real. Travis explains, “We are a mobile service, and we clean carbon out of the inside of engines. We clean everything from the combustion chamber through the exhaust system and all of the emissions components that are now a big part of diesel engines between the diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) systems and diesel particulate filters (DPF).” In July of 2023, Travis purchased the Southern Kentucky franchise of HHO Carbon Cleaning Systems. He was so impressed with the benefits that this clean energy solution brings, that he decided to buy another franchise in North Dakota in early 2024. “What makes it unique is that we use hydrogen gas to clean with and it’s non-invasive. We don’t have to take any components off the truck during the process, so we can clean a unit in about an hour while it is running. The truck can then go right back into service Keep Your Fleet Running with Preventative Maintenance 10 | Kentucky trucker
