Recognizing Accomplishments
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 hosted the 11th Salute to Women Behind the Wheel on Friday, March 25th at 4 p.m. at the Mid-America Trucking Show (MATS) in Louisville, KY. The event was free for all female CDL holders and their families and friends. To accommodate driver’s schedules, the Salute was held on Friday afternoon in lieu of Saturday and ended promptly at 6 p.m. so attendees could participate in post-expo events on Friday evening.
Peggy Arnold of Yellow was named the 2022 Women In Trucking Driver of the Year, an award sponsored by Walmart; Landstar took home the most attendees award, the Women In Trucking Foundation hosted “Door Prizes for Donations” with proceeds going to scholarshi, and the annual female driver group photo was taken in their complimentary red t-shirts!
