Join Us at Salute to Women Behind the Wheel

A Decade of Honoring Female Drivers

In 2008, the Women In Trucking Association (WIT) created the Salute to Women Behind the Wheel event to recognize and honor female drivers for their service and commitment to the industry. Ten years later, the tradition is still going strong.

This year’s event takes place at the Mid-America Trucking Show (MATS) on March 30 in Louisville, Ky.

“Our annual Salute event shows that women can thrive and enjoy a career as a professional driver,” says Ellen Voie, WIT President and CEO. “Whether they are industry veterans or newcomers, they are paving the way for women to participate and succeed in a male-dominated industry. We want to them to know we see them, and they are valued.”

The event will include an update on the latest WIT news from Voie, a self-defense workshop by Debbie Gardner from the SURVIVE Institute, a demonstration of the LIFELITE PepperBall Launcher, entertainment by Jayne Denham, refreshments (including the signature chocolate fountain and tractor trailer cake), prizes and goodie bags with items from event sponsors, and the iconic driver photo!

The WIT Show will be broadcast live by SiriusXM Road Dog Channel 146.

Family, friends, sponsors and WIT members are encouraged to attend and show their support. For more information, visit WomenInTrucking.org/salute-to-women-behind-the-wheel. n 2019 SALUTE SPONSORS
