Awesome Trucking Video!
Women In Trucking Member Appears on Today Show
5/22/08
Quote:
Women In Trucking member Daren Baird appeared Wednesday on the Today Show's feature "Dangerous Jobs."

For the past week, each host of the Today Show has shadowed a professional in what they consider to be a dangerous job. Meredith Vieira chose a truck driver as her "dangerous job" and spent two days riding with the veteran driver and WIT member.

"Daren served as a true professional and fantastic representative not only for Women In Trucking but for the entire trucking profession in general," said Ellen Voie, president of WIT. "It's this type of exposure that will help change the public misconceptions about truck drivers and perhaps help solve some of the issues that female drivers face today. We are pleased she is one of our members."

Heres the VIDEO....on the Today show.............http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/24755012#24755012

WIT, a non-profit organization created to encourage the employment of women in all areas of trucking and assist in promoting a more female-friendly environment for those already in the trucking industry, was officially founded on March 12, 2007. Membership in WIT is a means to not only encourage women to consider a career in the trucking industry, but to also provide a platform to voice the successes and struggles of those women already in the male-dominated field. Membership in WIT comes in a variety of forms ranging from corporate to driver and student members.

With any luck, it will actually get enough air play. To change a few opinions.

Well done segment.

That was great! Thanks, CG...


I particularly liked the part where they said something about truckers being stupid. NOT! Can't drive well, do all the regs and paperwork and keep from killing yourself and someone else and be stoopud.

Roll on, drivers!

and she should be scared. Imagine a journalist driving that death bullet? She just found out what the responsibility is and what it's like.
I can't imagine myself doing that but Ratchet loves it. I have a hard enough time going to the store in my little Subaru without doing damage to some idiot.

You've done it again, Cybergal!
I don't know how or where you find all these things you post for our enjoyment and/or education -- or where you find the time to do it, but this poster is really glad that you DO.

That is an excellent video and I really enjoyed watchin' it. Quite well done, too.

Thanx!
**I will now tip-toe out of the Ladies Room before it's discovered that I'm actually a guy ------ who appreciates ALL the professional drivin' women out there gittin' 'er done.
I remove my well worn NASCAR designer cap, stand at attention, as I offer up my most snappy and sincere SALUTE.
Job well done.
Carry on.
