In this powerful episode of That’s Delivered, Trucking Ray speaks with Ladda Love Hawkins, Vice President of Community Engagement for the African-American Women Trucking Association (AAWTA), about the intersection of insurance, advocacy, and inclusion in the trucking industry.

Ladda shares how a question during COVID shifted her career from traditional insurance to risk management in trucking, and how that moment led to her purpose: building opportunity and support systems for African-American women in transportation.

You’ll hear about:

• How proper risk management can protect carriers before they file DOT paperwork
• The mission and impact of AAWTA in trucking
• How scholarships, youth mentorship, and workforce development are shaping the next generation
• Turning grief into leadership and advocacy
• Why clean safety scores impact insurance rates more than most realize
• How allies of all backgrounds can get involved

Whether you’re a woman in trucking, a fleet owner looking to support DEI, or a solo driver building your business, this episode delivers insight, strategy, and real talk about success in trucking today.
