As a member of Women in Trucking, Pat feels the importance of working in an industry where females are extremely impactful. Pat wishes to use her presence as a female trucker to overcome the stigma that women are of lesser value in the workforce. She speaks words of encouragement to other women, such as believe in yourself, follow your heart and chase big dreams. Most importantly, we can do anything men can do and more.

Patricia likes to mentor new drivers to assist with their success, she just helped with our truck show in Dallas and she and Tom are going to help with our Wreaths Across America project in December delivering a load of Wreaths to Andersonville to be placed on the graves of our fallen soldiers.

Pat embodies the endurance of a soldier, persistence of a women, combined with the dedication of a trucker. Her motto is, anything worth having is worth working hard for.

Patricia certainly exemplifies our Women of Excellence.
