The annual Salute to Women Behind the Wheel program honors and recognizes female commercial drivers for their efforts and successes as women in a male-populated industry.
Female drivers and business professionals are doing amazing things to be part of the economic engine that moves freight over the road. Part of the Women In Trucking Association's mission is to promote their accomplishments.
Each year, the Women In Trucking Association holds events at the Mid-America Trucking Show (MATS) in Louisville, Kentucky to recognize women drivers in the United States; and in partnership with the Owner-Operator's Business Association of Canada (OBAC) at Truck World in Toronto to recognize women drivers in Canada.
Women In Trucking held the 12th Annual Salute to Women Behind the Wheel on Friday, March 31 at 3:30pm during the Mid-America Trucking Show (MATS) in Louisville, KY. The event celebrates female commercial drivers for their successes and dedication to the industry! It was free for all female CDL holders and their families, friends and industry supporters.
In addition to enjoying refreshments and connecting with exhibitors, WIT announced Mary (Candy) Bass as the winner of the 2023 Women In Trucking Driver of the Year Award, sponsored by Walmart, and Angelique Temple as the winner of the 2023 Truck Giveaway, sponsored by Arrow Truck Sales! The event also featured the annual female driver group photo taken in the complimentary red t-shirts.
