PUSHING THE PINK MESSAGE Canada’s Eva Knelsen had a hankering for truck driving from an early age. Now she’s driving long-haul across Canada and the US, while raising breast cancer awareness. Warren Aitken reports from North America THE TRANSPORT industry over the years has predominantly been a male dominated arena – sad but true. However, in the modern age it has become a lot more evenly mixed with more and more women becoming involved in the industry. Thankfully over the next few issues I’ve managed to catch up with some extremely cool women that are not just involved, but leading the way in the transport industry - from a mechanic turned driver, a woman with her own fleet of tip trucks, a nurse turned professional polisher to even a team of women that spend their days wrapping trucks. However, I’m going to start with a young driver from Canada, and it’s not because we can’t find enough over here. It’s because, firstly, I have never seen so much pink, inside and outside a truck; and secondly, it gives me the chance to write the phrase ‘Save the Boobies’ and get paid to do it. Meet Eva Knelsen and the stunning Kenworth W900L that she drives for Don English of Canada’s West Coast Transportation. Eva is a testament to following your passion and dreams despite all the obstacles that crop up along the way. Her reward for battling through is the keys to this stunning truck. Keep in mind her boss Don was once quoted as saying: “No way I’d ever f***** buy a f****** pink truck”. It seems Eva’s charms just wore that poor man down. While I caught up with Eva in Iowa, she is actually Canadian born and bred. One of 15 siblings, with ownerdriver.com.au MAY 2020 43
