{"text":"REGINA, Sask. – Hitting the road across country, the overwhelming theme of Women with Drive’s first stop in Western Canada was to “just do it.”\n\nOffering advice to women looking to get into the industry, a panel made up of three successful women in trucking and as entrepreneurs, urged attendees to follow their dreams and goals and that it would all work out in the end.\n\n“Just go do it and you’ll be fine,” said Heather Day, president of C.S. Day Transport, who moved from teaching to the family business much sooner than she had envisioned.\n\n“We have to stop saying this is a male dominate industry,” she said, adding that the statement can scare potential female workers away. “We have a lot of strong women who work in this industry.”\n\nDiehl also said more needs to be done to make both women and men feel safe and cared for while on the road.\n\nWhile work-life balance, respect for others, and it being an industry for both men and women were not seen as positive aspects of the trucking industry.\n\nSource: Trucknews","videos":"[]","link":"{}","pics":"[{\"description\":\"\",\"height\":501.0,\"name\":\"\",\"url\":\"\",\"width\":751.0}]","canComment":true}
