Plover, WI – May 3, 2021 The Women In Trucking Association (WIT) has announced Carina BeeBe as its May Member of the Month. Carina is a professional driver for Wilson Logistics.

In 1999, Carina began her professional driving career in Europe, driving primarily curtain van, mostly in Holland, Belgium, and Germany. After a couple of years, she moved on to refrigerated trailers and drove in Scotland and United Kingdom. Driving on the left side of the road was an interesting twist to the driving experience. During this time, Carina delivered flowers and plants throughout Italy, Spain, Austria, Switzerland, and France. Wanting to try something different, she went back to refrigerated cartage in UK and Scotland.

Carina moved to Canada in 2011 to live a lifelong dream of driving a conventional style Peterbilt. The added benefit was to see a different part of the world. While in Canada, Carina worked for a Canadian Company driving step deck and flatbed where she hauled lumber and oversized loads.

A year later, Carina thought it was time to add a companion to her journey and married. Carina and her then husband moved to Montana where she drove oversize flatbeds to Canada and Alaska. In addition, she worked a dedicated Walmart route from Washington to Alaska. For a short period of time Carina also started her own transportation company where she delivered RV’s throughout North America.

After divorcing in 2018, Carina knew she missed driving over-the-road in a big truck and knew she had to get back to it. Carina moved back to Montana and started with Wilson Logistics. While with Wilson, Carina had the opportunity to be a CDL instructor. Not to long after becoming an instructor, it was clear to her that she really missed the road. So, today Carina and her dog Jack are living her dream of driving. Carina is one of the Wilson Logistics cross boarder drivers between the U.S. and Canada.

“I have always wanted to drive truck and see the world; I couldn’t imagine doing anything else,” she said.
