In her second of three appearances, Ingrid Brown—46-year professional driver, Operations Manager at Blackjack Express, and long-time Women In Trucking (WIT) board member—joins Beyond the Bulldog to talk about how women are shaping every corner of trucking.

Ingrid discusses:

-The real challenges women face on the road—and why clear, accurate communication beats stereotypes

-How WIT supports drivers: mentorship, scholarships, the Whitney education trailer, image team, and recognition programs

-Mental health on the road: reducing isolation, knowing when to ask for help, and building support systems

-Equipment and ergonomics: practical fixes and why design matters for every body

-Career paths beyond the cab: mechanics, safety, dispatch, brokerage, leadership—and how women thrive across the industry

With candor and humor, Ingrid shows how inclusion, mentorship, and equal standards make fleets safer, stronger, and more resilient.
