In order to understand the unique challenges women in the industry face, Keller-Krikava rode along with Deb Anderson from Schneider National of Green Bay, Wis. and Bree Eubanks from Roehl Transport of Marshfield, Wis.
“We were excited to offer Ms. Keller-Krikava the opportunity to ride with female professional drivers to get a glimpse into life on the road, and more importantly, to better understand how the regulatory environment affects drivers personally,” said Ellen Voie, President/CEO of Women In Trucking. “She was able to interact with the very individuals her company’s products and services impact on a day-to-day basis.”
“Spending time with these women was a terrific, eye-opening experience,” said Keller-Krikava. “Both women clearly shared a passion for the independence the profession offers but it was also evident they face some key challenges such as increasing regulation, distracted drivers, and finding safe overnight parking. With the help of organizations like Women In Trucking, we will continue to make strides in addressing these issues and recruiting more women to the profession.”
Anderson has been driving for Schneider for three and half years on a dedicated account, while Eubanks has been with Roehl for seven months and hauls a variety of freight with a curtainside trailer. Hotel accommodations were made by Hotels4Truckers.
