Celebrating Women In Trucking with Jacinda Duran: Long Haul Trucking and Car Transport

In honor of International Women's Day, uShip is celebrating women in logistics all month long! Hear long-haul car hauler and third-generation female trucker, Jacinda Duran, talk about what trucking means to her.

Jacinda’s love for trucking is ingrained through her family. She is a third-generation lady trucker, following in the footsteps of her mother, who drove for 23 years, and her grandmother, who drove for over 50 years. On top of that, her second cousin is Marc Springer, who starred in A&E reality series Shipping Wars (100 episodes from 2012-2015).

Starting off as a local FedEx driver over four years ago, Jacinda moved to a longer, consistent, dedicated route, delivering oxygen tanks. Today, she’s behind the wheel of a 53′ enclosed high-end car hauler, driving for Plycar Automotive Logistics. On any given day, her 42,000 Instagram followers will see her at a frozen truckstop in Wisconsin, performing in-cab karaoke, or dealing with a blown tire outside of Salt Lake City.
