” I was super passionate about bringing more women into the industry and as of right now we have three women drivers with us. Two work full-time in the truck and one is part-time, she helps out in the office and does a little bit with the dump truck and dumps people’s loads for them” explained Ashley Sidhu, who is the HR manager with Sprayer Fleet Wash in Prince George. ” There is so much that can happen on there and that’s the route that the world is going so that’s part of it. Being in a male-dominated industry, I thought it was very, very important to represent myself and be a role model for other females that want to come into this industry because you know it’s a very, very intimidating thing.
