Woman’s career in trucking
Evelyn Vincenzo kicked off her driving woman’s career in 1987. Whenever she can, she encourages women to seriously consider a woman’s career in trucking. At age 64, Evelyn Vincenzo is a Westfield, Massachusetts-based warehouse CDL shuttle driver, who brings freight warehoused at A. Duie Pyle facilities to customer accounts in various locations throughout New England. In 1987, Vincenzo sought a career in trucking.
Woman’s career
The trucking industry and truck driving provided a monetary incentive over the career path she had chosen out. “From the time I was a truck driver’s daughter, caught up in the mystery of the big truck parked outside my window, purring with the sound of the refrigerated unit running, I knew I wanted to drive.
I wanted to command one of these monsters going down the road. With no strings attached, the industry offered me an exciting way to see the country, meet all sorts of people from all walks of life, in big cities, small towns, rural, industrial, and urban areas, all with something special to see and absorb.” Vincenzo began her driving career when women were scarce among the driver population, she said she has always had a positive experience, including in the work she continues to do today.
Having begun her driving career in the industry in 1987, when women were a novelty, the men she has been working with over the years, the decades, have been extremely helpful. According to her, one of the most important aspects of a woman coming into the industry are the opportunities that are afforded her, as a minority. This industry will provide a woman with financial independence, self-worth, confidence, and pride. One more benefit of this job is the fact that I am an example to my kids and my grandkids that hard work truly does pay off.
