Members of Women In Trucking's advisory committee recently met with TravelCenters of America President/CEO Tom O'Brien and his top level management team to discuss business experiences expressed by female professional drivers.
O'Brien's goal is to listen to drivers to better understand their needs on the road through the company's "Driver Council" format.

The drivers discussed issues regarding everything from safety in the parking areas to towels and showerheads. The conference call continued for nearly two hours, and O'Brien and his colleagues listened and responded to the comments made by the drivers.

"The driver advisory members were especially impressed with the changes TA/Petro has implemented already," said a statement issued by Womein in Trucking. "From fuel desk efficiency to healthy menu choices, O'Brien and his leadership team have been listening."

The members of the TA/Petro leadership team included executives from the travel stores, restaurants, truck service, fuel supply, and sales areas. The WIT driver advisory team was composed of six female professional drivers with a total of 121 years of driving experience.
