Recognizing Your 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.

Celebrating Drivers Who Keep America Moving

The ballroom buzzed with energy on Friday, March 27 as nearly 120 female professional truck drivers and more than 200 allies came together — joined by industry leaders like FMCSA Administrator Derek Barrs — to celebrate female professional truck drivers at the 15th annual Salute to Women Behind the Wheel. The program was led by the WIT Image Team members who shared their personal stories and how WIT has fostered a true “sisterhood." Part of the program also highlighted the stories of the finalists of WIT’s 2026 Driver of the Year award program, with Ingrid Brown being named the winner. "The Salute is such a special way for WIT to truly honor female professional drivers,” says Jenny Fall, WIT’s Director of Driver Engagement. “From the celebratory entrance to the final picture, I'm honored to be part of a celebration that lifts up and recognizes the true powerhouse women behind the wheel."
