This Woman Is Changing The Trucking Culture – Episode 19

In this episode of the Truck Stop Show, we’re honoured to welcome Shelly Walker, CEO and founder of the Women’s Trucking Federation of Canada, for a powerful conversation about life on the road and the realities of being a woman in the trucking industry. Shelly shares her firsthand experiences from years behind the wheel; from long-haul driving to navigating a male-dominated space, and opens up about the personal challenges that ultimately pushed her to build a national support network for women in blue-collar work. She explains the mission behind the WTFC, a nonprofit dedicated to breaking stigmas around mental health, loneliness, safety, and support for women in trucking. This episode dives into resilience, community, and the growing movement to make Canada’s trucking industry more inclusive and supportive for the women who keep it moving.
