Based in South Carolina, Welsh became involved in the shipping industry when she began dating Christopher Hanna. The two started working together as independent shippers through the help of uShip, an online marketplace where people with shipping needs can find independent shippers to transport their items across the country.
In 2012, Welsh and Hanna joined A&E’s newest reality television show “Shipping Wars”; the show follows the lives of six independent shippers as they fight over customers via uShip. The shippers bid on a transaction, and whoever the client picks, wins. Upon being selected by a client, the independent shipper then needs to complete the agreed upon task within the given time frame and for the quoted amount. At the end of every episode, viewers are able to see if the independent shipper was able to deliver the goods, and if they made a profit that day after all the expenses that they incurred during the delivery.
Welsh and Hanna joined the series in its second season and left on the fifth. They became known as “The Hotshot Couple” on the show, and operated the Loaded Transport. Aside from A&E the show was also known to be broadcast in various other parts of the globe.
Aside from outbidding other independent shippers, the show also became a hit among audiences, because of the unusual items that the clients wanted to be delivered.
Welsh helps Hanna run their independent shipping company by booking the loads, mapping out the routes that the trucker can use, and also takes care of any necessary repairs. Her participation in the hit television show and running their business is what makes up most of her net worth.
Today, Welsh is still managing their independent shipping company alongside Hanna through uShips. Unfortunately, “Shipping Wars” aired its last episode in April 2015, when it wasn’t renewed for another season.
In terms of her personal life, Welsh is still with Hanna; they now have a son named Carter and a daughter.
