Women In Trucking Association (WIT) named Bonnie Supan as its 2018 December Member of the Month. Bonnie is the Vice President of Finance and Operations for Brenny Transportation, Inc./Brenny Specialized, Inc. in Saint Joseph, Minnesota.

As a child, her father would bring home big trucks from work and she loved how big they were and was very impressed with them at a young age.

When the opportunity came up for a position at a trucking company she thought it was perfect. Her plan was to work in the office for a while and eventually become a truck driver. The path to drive trucks changed when she realized how much she could help people working behind the scenes in trucking.

She started her trucking career filing, doing some computer work and looking up miles for loads from the atlas. She sat on the floor with the big atlas and others in the office would give her a sheet of paper that had the origin and destination and she had to get the miles, there was no such thing as a computer system to run the miles like we have now.

Eventually, she moved into dispatch where she could help drivers get from point A to point B. Bonnie said, “I formed a lot of friends and some I still keep in contact with. I could see the world by living through the travels of the drivers. I could see the many different job sites by asking the drivers what it was like there. I would ask our customers questions to know what the product was going to be used for. I figured out I am helping the country grow – what a great feeling!”
