Women In Trucking has officially launched its driver ambassador program!
The purpose of the program is to raise awareness of the non-profit association’s mission, promote the career opportunities women have in trucking, celebrate their accomplishments, remove obstacles female truck drivers face, and increase membership for the organization. Kellylynn McLaughlin,
a professional over-the-road CMV Driver and Training Engineer for Schneider National, will be the official WIT Driver Ambassador.
In her role, McLaughlin will focus on spreading WIT’s message and giving visibility to the association’s efforts to bring more women into the industry by attending and speaking at non-industry trade shows, driving schools, associations, and other industry events. She will also share her stories of life on the road through a blog, provide media interviews, and give rides to legislators, regulators and the media. The next phase of the program will introduce a WIT-branded trailer which will include a brand video promoting trucking as a viable career option for women and showcase success stories of women in the industry, in addition to other educational resources.
