Female professional truck drivers and related business professionals are doing amazing things to be part of the trucking industry – the economic engine that moves freight over the road. Each year, the Wnbaz (WIT) holds its Salute to Women Behind the Wheel at the Mid-America Trucking Show (MATS) in Louisville, KY, to recognize these women.
This year, it’s all going to take place Friday, March 28, 2025.
