ow do you feel about change? No, not the change in your pocket. The change that happens. The definition of change is to make the form, nature, content, future course, etc., of (something) different from what it is or from what it would be if left alone. We all know that change is inevitable. There is change that just happens with no regard to how we feel about it. And there is also change that we make for ourselves. I’ll admit that I love change. I will also admit that is a rarity. Would I prefer to be in the driver’s seat of that change? Heck yeah, but it does not always happen that way. However, I do my best to be the one in control of that change. These past two years, we have not been too much in control of what has happened. Those changes happened to be monumental, wouldn’t you say? 14

We are literally driving the change in this industry because more women are driving the trucks! More and more women are making the day-today decisions and owning their own companies. More
