Lois Carlson
Our next winner is Lois Carlson. Lois drives for Bennett Motor Express.
Lois started driving in 2000 because she wanted to do something “different” and she liked the freedom of the road and the flexibility that driving gives her.
She told me she thinks that strong attributes like patience and the ability to communicate well are just a couple of things that make women good at being professional drivers.
Lois is a safe and capable driver and she says for her, safety comes from being alert and ready for anything and everything that could happen when you’re on the road.
Her advice to women just starting out is to never be afraid to ask questions and always ask for help when you need it.
We congratulate Lois Carlson on being selected as one of Bennett’s Women Driver of Excellence award recipients!
Kay Dossett
Our next winner, Kay Dossett, drives for Bennett’s DriveAway division.
Kay started out driving motorhomes for WBO in 1970 and found she loves the people, she loves meeting new people, she loves to travel and really overall enjoys what she is doing. As a result, she ended up working for WBO for many years.
Kay has a positive attitude and is always very safety conscious and said she keeps safe by staying alert to what is happening around her.

Rebecca Smith
Rebecca Smith drives for Power Only in our DriveAway division and is our next winner.
Rebecca said she likes Power Only because there’s something different every day and she gets the opportunity to visit and see some interesting places.
I understand that Rebecca is well-liked among the customers and oftentimes they request her to drive their load. One of those customers is a concert moving company. Rebecca said she also likes pulling the stage for concerts because she gets to meet some of the performers and a lot of other interesting people.
For Rebecca, she said that safety is a matter of common sense and she is proud to be a driver in the transportation industry.

Diane started her career as a school bus driver in 1999, and after driving a bus for 10 ears, she decided she wanted to try something different. She’s been working for Sue Smith for the last 16 years, and she loves what she does.
One of the things she likes best about driving is it gives her the opportunity to travel and see the country. And she told me she loves being able to pick and choose the locations that she wants to travel to.
When it comes to safety, she always runs the speed limit, stays alert, and she always keeps her truck in top running condition.
We congratulate Diane Frederick on being selected as one of Bennett’s Women Driver of Excellence award recipients!
