Women Driving at Blackhawk Pave the Way for Safety and Training Program Enhancements

BELOIT, Wis. - Oct. 16, 2019 - PRLog -- In June of 2014, Barbara Anderson joined the Blackhawk Transport Team.  Since that time she has successfully driven over 675,000 miles accident free.  Barbara is a model professional driver and individual that Blackhawk Transport is proud to have as a member of the team.  In 2019, five years into her career at Blackhawk Transport, Barbara was asked to take on a new role as a Driver Finisher to train new drivers coming into the career field; instructing them on basic and advanced professional driving skills.  Barbara's responsibilities involve taking a new to minimal experienced CDL qualified professional driver through an extensive twelve-week training course and guiding them to ensure the trainee develops into a safe, courteous, professional and skilled driver who is thoroughly familiar with the company's policy and procedures; as well as, FMCSA rules and regulations.

This training program opens up new capabilities to provide employment for an understaffed career field. Blackhawk Transport is excited and honored to have Barbara Anderson as a Driver Finisher for their team and Marcy Sauer as their first successful graduate of the program.  In a career field where women are making a huge impact to improve the quality of professional drivers on America's Interstates, Highways and Roadways, Blackhawk Transport would like to congratulate Barbara and Marcy on their successes and for paving the way of the Safety and Training Program Enhancements at Blackhawk Transport.
