Women in Trucking

Women who inspire

 

We are honored to have talented women who work with us. They inspire us. And they motivate us through their leadership and work ethic.

 

Aside from being on the road, these women provide mentorship and support for other women who drive. They stand up and face adversity. They are strong and make the company — and their communities — a better place to be. CRST is so proud of them and would like to share their stories below.

Watch their secrets to success

Six Safety Tips

01
Preplan stops

Loved ones know your location. One click help-alerts. Use Red Panic Button for Apple devices and Safety Assistant for Android devices.

03
Park smart

Choose a pull-through spot that is well-lit.

04
Stay alert

Know your surroundings. Secure truck when sleeping.

05
Use your cellphone

Videotape predator as you tell them to quit following you.

06
Report suspicious activity

Tell travel center and/or highway patrol.
