🚛 Honoring a Champion for Women in Trucking: Adriesue "Bitsy" Gomez🚛 Adriesue "Bitsy" Gomez, a visionary who dramatically transformed the landscape for women in the trucking industry during the 1970s. Founder of the Coalition of Women Truck Drivers, Gomez was at the forefront of advocating for the rights and recognition of female truck drivers, a group long marginalized in this field. 👩🚀 Through her relentless advocacy and leadership, Bitsy brought national attention to the significant challenges faced by women in trucking. Her pioneering efforts addressed crucial issues such as safety, discrimination, and equal rights, paving the way for a more inclusive and equitable industry. 🌍 Gomez's legacy is a powerful reminder of the impact of advocacy and the importance of fighting for one's beliefs. Her work not only opened doors for countless women in trucking but also laid the groundwork for ongoing discussions about diversity, inclusion, and equity in transportation and beyond. As we celebrate the achievements of women across all sectors, let's remember the trailblazers like Bitsy Gomez, whose courage and determination continue to inspire us to drive change and make a difference. #InternationalWomensDay #WomenInTrucking #Advocacy #DiversityAndInclusion #BitsyGomez #Trailblazer #Empowerment #insurancecompany #insurancecoverage #insuranceagency #insurancepolicy #insurance #truckinglifestyle #truckinginsurance #truckingindustry #truckingcompany #truckingaround #truckinglife #truckinggirl #truckingnews #trucking #mothertrucker #mothertruckers #Shetrucking #shetruckingpodcast #womenintrucking
