WIT Announces its July 2018 Member of the Month Shelly Feidt

Women In Trucking Association (WIT) has announced Shelly Feidt as its July Member of the Month. Shelly is a veteran of nearly 10 years in the expedite trucking industry. She and her husband Mitch manage their fleet of seven trucks from home.

When Shelly was asked if she would encourage other women to pursue careers in trucking, the answer was an enthusiastic yes. “I would say go for it,” she said. “It’s a whole new direction.”

Shelly had several previous jobs. She was working in a greeting card factory when she met Mitch, who was already driving for FedEx. The two married in 2007 and Shelly joined Mitch on the road in 2008.
