The Mid-America Trucking Show (MATS) was last week (March 24th - 26th) in Louisville, Kentucky and we were in awe of the massive size of the show. With over a million square feet of exhibit space, 1,020 exhibitors, 72,584 attendees, and 40+ events, MATS was the biggest trade show the Thunder Funding Team was a part of since the beginning of the pandemic!

In celebration of Women’s History Month, Thunder Funding wanted to reexamine the participation of women currently in the trucking industry. We first addressed the number of women truck drivers back in June of 2017 in this blog post: Cheering On More Women In Trucking Despite Stereotypes. In that blog post we pointed out that “The most recent survey shows that women constitute just 5.1 percent of truck drivers”.
