Ever wonder about the unsung heroes behind the wheel of those massive eighteen-wheelers? Buckle up for a ride through history as we celebrate the remarkable women who have powered through the trucking industry, from the pioneering Mirah 'Yo-Yo' Worley, Joanna Wilson, to the resilient Jackie Gardner. Hear their inspiring stories, like that of Gardner teaching herself to master the art of backing in an empty Walmart lot, and discover the barriers they broke down to pave the way for future generations of female drivers.
Shift gears with us as we tackle what it takes to make the trucking industry more welcoming for women, and why this matters now more than ever. With insights from Gardner's nearly 4 million miles on the road, we examine the indispensable qualities women contribute, like a strong safety record and professionalism, that could steer the industry to new heights. We also tune in to the rhythm of the road with a trucking-inspired music recommendation, because who doesn't love a good soundtrack to their journey? Join us for a powerful look at the women who are not just driving trucks, but driving change.
