The WITney® Educational Trailer focuses on raising awareness for the WIT mission, promoting the career opportunities women have in trucking, celebrating their accomplishments, removing obstacles female professional drivers face, and increasing membership for the organization.
WITney® (an homage to the association’s abbreviation) accompanies the Driver Ambassador out on the road. Not only is the WITney® Educational Trailer a traveling billboard for the nonprofit, but hosts an array of educational and interactive components.
Interactive kiosks on trucking 101, common myth busters, general Q&A, and a quiz on whether trucking would be the right career fit.
A wall mural showcasing the association’s accomplishments since its inception in 2007.
Headset kiosks to hear inspirational stories on how females make it work with family, career and overall lifestyle.
A custom-made state-of-the-art driver simulator courtesy of Advanced Training Systems that allows attendees to experience truck driving in different scenarios, regions of the country, weather conditions, and more.
