Picture Perfect: Annual Photo Contest Winners Announced

The message #SteeringTowardDiversity was at the heart of this year’s “I Trucking” photo contest.

The fifth annual contest, sponsored by Hudson Insurance Group, took place in June. A record number of 120 participants submitted a photo that conveyed the message that trucking is for everyone and encouraged companies to celebrate diversity efforts within their workforce.

With more than 500 online votes, Susie DeRidder of Armour Transportation was the People’s Choice Winner.

“It was very important for me to participate in this year’s photo contest to inspire women to get behind the wheel,” says DeRidder. “#SteeringTowardDiversity is such an important message for the industry, and I’m proud to have won the People’s Choice Award!”

A panel of judges deemed Tonyah Dillahunt’s submission for PACCAR Parts to be their favorite for the Judges’ Choice Winner.

“Participating in the 2019 ‘I Trucking’ photo contest allowed us to demonstrate our mission to increase diversity and inclusivity at PACCAR Parts each and every day,” says Blanka Kopacz, PACCAR Parts Director of Product Marketing and Global Diversity and Inclusion Chair. Winners and other contest participants were recognized at the “I Trucking” reception at the Accelerate! Conference & Expo in Dallas. n
