REAL WOMEN IN TRUCKING, INC.
LAKE WORTH, FLORIDA

REAL Women in Trucking, Inc. is a Florida-based, non-profit trade association committed to empowering women in the trucking industry and those aspiring to join it. Established on June 4, 2013, and incorporated under Florida Company Type: DOMNP with File Number N13000005206, REAL Women stands at the forefront of addressing barriers for qualified women entering this traditionally male-dominated field. Headquartered at 631 Lucerne Ave, Lake Worth, FL, the organization advocates through outreach programs, continuing education, mentoring, networking, and advocacy to foster unity between new and seasoned female drivers. REAL Women in Trucking partners with TruckersEdge powered by DAT, connecting truckers with loads efficiently from a vast database of over 300,000 daily loads. This initiative also offers the first 30 days for free access as a step towards supporting the organization's mission. Recognizing the challenges faced by women entering through low-standard driver training practices—often misleading and resultantly exploitative—the association works to educate potential CDL entrants about safer practices while also providing resources for drivers facing harassment or unsafe conditions in their professional lives. With an unwavering dedication to social justice, including experiences shared through platforms like Twitter addressing broader societal issues such as human trafficking and advocating against sexual misconduct within the industry, REAL Women strives not only to offer support but drive substantial changes. With officers Desiree A Wood as President and directors Michelle Kitchin and Debbie Desiderato at its helm, the organization continues to push for systemic change fostering a safe, equitable, and sustainable environment for women in trucking.
