Podcast: Index tracks progress of women in trucking
Women in Trucking has a very specific mission – and to see how things are going toward that mission, they’ve developed their own set of statistics – the WIT Index. Also, several members of Congress are taking aim at the rule requiring entry level driver training in trucking. A passion for art and an interest in trucks has turned into a career for an Ohio woman. And it’s August, and lawmakers are back in their home districts meeting with constituents. That means opportunity for truckers interested in speaking out on industry issues.
