13. The purpose for creating the Queen of the Road Awards was to create a
dignified recognition award for women who work as truck drivers that
have not only overcome personal challenges, but who also have
demonstrated a “Pay it Forward” approach to help others by sharing
their wisdom. These women exemplify the definition of “Servant
Leadership”.
“Servant Leaders” are defined by Robert K. Greenleaf as individuals who
naturally want to serve others first and secondly they make a conscious
choice to lead. A servant leader is sharply different from those who lead
first, and are driven by ego, the need for power, money and to acquire
material possessions.
“Giving Back” by providing accurate information to those who are
struggling to find their way through truck driver training has been the
cornerstone of the REAL Women in Trucking organization.
Adversity is one element many individuals have experienced in their
lives, but only the special few who take the time to give back with
gratitude by helping someone else.
14. R.E.A.L. represents authenticity, REAL
women help one another, they are not
jealous of another woman’s success, they are
motivated by it.
R. Reaching Out
E. Encouraging Others
A. Achieving Personal Success
L. Leadership

other.” ~ Madeline Albright
