Rebecca Brewster, the President and Chief Operating Officer for the ATRI (American Transportation Research Institute) will gain some hands-on experience as she hitches a ride with two real truckers to the 5th Annual “Salute to Women Behind the Wheel”.

The ride-along will begin tomorrow (March 26th) with Stephanie Klang, who has been driving for Con-way since 1987. The second driver, Monica Abdul-Rashid of Shneider, will finish the long-haul to the Mid-America Trucking Show in Louisville, Kentucky.

This ride-along has been organized by the Women in Trucking Association (WIT), and according to WIT President and CEO Ellen Voie, it is intended to be “a great opportunity to give legislators, regulators and industry leaders the opportunity to experience a small part of a driver’s job.”
