Celebrating Professional Female Drivers 12th Salute to Women Behind the Wheel

The Women In Trucking Association (WIT) will host its 12th Salute to Women Behind the Wheel on Friday, March 31st at 3:30 p.m. during the Mid-America Trucking Show (MATS) in Louisville, KY. This one-of-a-kind event recognizing female professional drivers for their efforts and successes as women in a male-populated industry is free for female CDL holders and their families and friends.

The event’s agenda will include the announcement of the winner of the 2023 WIT Driver of the Year award, sponsored by Walmart; the 2023 Truck Giveaway, sponsored by Arrow Truck Sales; the annual female professional driver group photo in the complimentary red t-shirts; drivers at the Expo and the expo game card; and the Women In Trucking Foundation will host “Door Prizes for Donations” with proceeds going to scholarships.

“The Salute to Women Behind the Wheel is our effort to acknowledge the challenging role our female drivers have had in a male populated industry,” says Ellen Voie, WIT founder. “Each of them is a pioneer and they continue to amaze me with their resilience and tenacity, and I truly enjoy celebrating their success at our event.”

Don’t miss this opportunity to make new friends in the industry, see some familiar faces, and be celebrated for your progress as a professional female driver. Stop by the WIT booth to register and receive your free red t-shirt for the group photo.
