Episode 15: Making Industry Waves

In this episode, hosts AMTA’s Kelsey Hipkin and Robyn Betts, sit down with Shelley Walker, CEO of the Women’s Trucking Federation of Canada, to discuss how we’re making progress in the commercial transportation industry for recruiting and retaining women professional drivers, as well as Shelley’s background as a professional driver, and other issues affecting women in industry.

• AMTA’s Driver Appreciation Days return September 9 - 16, 2024. We are looking for some amazing volunteers to join us (while spots last), as well as awesome swag to fill the gift bags for the commercial drivers. Learn more on our website here.

• Registration is now open for our Industry Innovations EXPO, held in Edmonton on September 26. Learn more, register to attend, or apply for a trade show booth here. (Trade show and registration limited, first come-first served).
