Brynn Everett, Women In Trucking Association Women In Trucking Announces February
Member of the Month Plover, WI – February
3, 2020 – The
Women In Trucking Association (WIT) recognizes a third-generation female
truck driver, Jacinda Duran, as its February 2020 Member of the Month. Duran has been around
trucking her entire life. With many family members in the industry, she says
it was inevitable that she would be too. Her mother was a professional truck
driver for 23 years and often took Duran with her on the job. Her father
drove dump trucks and cement trucks. Her grandmother hauled produce in
California for over 50 years. Her grandfather did his truck driving in the
1950s. They even have a relative who appeared on the television series,
Shipping Wars. Ten years ago, Duran started
her logistics career at FedEx Express as a courier, then transitioned into
big rigs in 2014. She has experience driving limos, buses, charter buses and
everything in between. Today, Duran drives enclosed
car carriers for Plycar Transportation, based in Kings Park, N.Y. The company
recruited her after seeing her social media page, Jacinda Lady Truckin. They
recognized that her passion for trucking was a great fit for their elite
trucking team. Through Plycar’s six-week training program, Duran learned to
transport, load and unload unique, one-of-a-kind cars and became the
company’s first solo female driver. “I stay out on the road for a
long period of time, living in my truck. I get to travel the country, seeing
friends, making new friends and living the best life out on the road. I am
blessed and thank God every day for my health, my life and my blessings,”
said Duran. Duran is a proud mother of
two children. Her daughter is in nursing school at Northern Arizona
University and her son is a cadet in the US Air Force Academy, obtaining a
degree in Aero Engineering. ### About
