Meet WITney™! We’re honored to have the Women in Trucking (WIT) simulator at our event this year.

This simulator lets you feel what drivers do at the TDC and their daily routes. The educational trailer is the cornerstone of the association’s Driver Ambassador program, aimed at promoting career opportunities for women in the trucking industry, celebrating inspirational women, and raising awareness of WIT’s mission.

Be sure to check out this awesome trailer and give your family the opportunity for an experience they will never forget.
