Dora Colvin is a pioneering woman in the trucking industry in the United States. In 1965, Colvin became the first woman to hold a CDL license in Kansas. In the over four decade since then, Colvin has driven for 2 million miles without an accident, and blazed the path for women into another male-dominated occupation. Colvin grew up in remote North Dakota, and today lives in Udall, Kansas. Her original occupation was as a teacher, and she has a college degree. She works in a team with her husband Butch. The Colvins have four children and six grandchildren. In April 2006 Colvin became the first woman to be named Company Equipment Driver of the Year, a prestigious award in the trucking industry. On April 7, 2006, Colvin was mentioned on Paul Harvey's short radio newscast on ABC stations across the nation. ==External links== *(Truckers News profile ) *(Truckinginfo.com profile ) *(Profile from Contract Freighters, Inc. ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dora Colvin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
