Cindi Alexander, LCCDL, wins membership on WIT Image Team From Lana Nichols, Women In Trucking Association Cindi Alexander, Columbia, KY, Co-Owner/Director and Training Instructor of Lake Cumberland CDL Training School, has won membership on the Women In Trucking Association (WIT) Image Team. The announcement of the 2016 Image Team was made at the seventh annual 'Salute to Women Behind the Wheel' event in Louisville recently. Her service as an Image Team member will include ride-along events for legislators, regulators, and industry leaders to provide a deeper understanding of the obstacles faced on the road and will also speak to the media and industry professionals at public events and trade shows. "I am honored to represent the WIT and to have been selected as an Image Team member," she said, "Everyone thinks of a truck driver as a man's job, however with the thousands of jobs open in the transportation industry, more women are becoming drivers every day." The job title is no longer 'truck driver' but is now called 'professional driver'. Lake Cumberland CDL averages training a minimum of seven women per month as more and more people become aware that the professional driver isn't just a man's occupation anymore. There is a lot more to being a professional driver than driving a truck," Ms. Alexander said, "You have to know the rules, how long you can drive (hours of service), you have to be able to keep logbooks accurately, if your ELD fails, you have to master map reading and pre-trip requirements, and develop the skills of how to know if your truck is safe to drive, along with backing skills and driving safely. LCCDL is licensed by the Kentucky commission of proprietary education and they have 16 instructors both men and women. They work with 38 trucking companies that do recruiting and pre-hire letters regularly while students are going through the courses. Because of this, students often know they have a job before they graduate. For those thinking of professional driving as a career, requirements in order to qualify for the training are: be over age 18, have a clean driving record, be able to pass a DOT drug test and be able to pass a DOT physical exam. Glen Wilham and Cindi Alexander are the owners of Lake Cumberland CDL training school. They opened their first school in 2006 and a decade later have a dozen schools. They have a fleet of 21 trucks that accommodate training needs in all of their schools. Since 2006 they've trained over 3,000 students who have successfully received a CDL license. The company has trained students from those having little or no experience, to people with college degrees, all the way to companies with the US Army. She says drivers deserve respect, the professional drivers know the rules of the road and the laws from state to state that require safe driving of all size vehicles. LCCDL teaches students to not only respect the laws and the rules of the road in every state, but to respect the speed limit on every road, because most accidents happen due to driving too fast for road conditions. The 2016 Women In Trucking Image Team is comprised of: Cindi Alexander, Co-Owner/Director Training Instructor, Lake Cumberland CDL Training School; Angelique Jones, Professional Driver, Atlantic Bulk Carriers; Brooke Held Sudimak, Professional Driver, Ru-D Trucking; Brooke Mosley, Training Specialist/ Female Driver Liaison, Prime, Inc.; Cindy Kaps, Professional Driver, Atlas Van Lines; Deb LaBree, Professional Driver, Landstar; Felicia Berggren, Professional Driver, Werner Enterprises; Gretchen Jackson, Sr. Manager/Driver Recruiter, XPO Logistics; Jeana Hysell, Sr. Safety Consultant, J.J. Keller & Associates, Inc.; Jill Maschmeier, Director of Safety & Compliance, National Carriers; Jodi Edwards, Professional Driver, J.B. Hunt Transport; Julie Matulle, Professional Driver & Part time Recruiter, H.O. Wolding Inc.; and Sarah Wulf, Recruiting Manager, Veriha Trucking. Women In Trucking Association, Inc. is a nonprofit association established to encourage the employment of women in the trucking industry, promote their accomplishments and minimize obstacles faced by women working in the trucking industry. Membership is not limited to women as 17 percent of its members are men who support the mission. The mission of Women In Trucking Association is to encourage the employment of women in the trucking industry, promote their accomplishments, and minimize obstacles faced by women in the trucking industry.
