“Trucks Are for Girls” Inspires Scouts

Opening the door to transportation.

Women In Trucking works with Girl Scouts to introduce girls to opportunities across trucking and logistics. The program reaches beyond driving to include operations, engineering and management.

Learning by getting close to the equipment.

At a May 30 event at Anderson Trucking Service in St. Cloud, Minnesota, scouts explored trucks, tried a driving simulator and watched equipment demonstrations. Yard tours and conversations with people in the industry helped make those careers tangible.

The event was organized by Women In Trucking and its partners. Read their report for photos and more about the scout patch program.
