"Not only has trucking been my career for the past 30 years but it's been a big piece of my life and I'm so proud to be a part of it. I've always been passionate about the image of trucking and do what I can to spread the word on all the positive aspects of this wonderful industry," said Susan Fall, president and founder of LaunchIt Public Relations.
