The Women In Trucking Association (WIT) has announced Liana Castro as its July 2023 Member of the Month. Castro is a driver trainer at LGT Transport, a transportation company in the cryogenic industry.
From WIT’s announcement of Castro as its Member of the Month: “Driven by the freedom, flexibility, sense of adventure, and opportunity to travel, a career in trucking was the perfect fit for Castro. She began pulling reefers, followed by going local to deliver food service. She then transitioned to linehaul and pulled doubles and triples. Later, when Castro was interested in hauling fuel, the company she applied to needed cryo drivers. That was the moment she was introduced to the cryogenic industry.”
“I found it absolutely fascinating and was glad I got into that division instead,” said Castro. “It opened more doors for me and ultimately led me to LGT Transport.”
Castro was promoted to driver trainer in February of 2023, making her the first woman to hold this position at the company. Today, Castro trains drivers to transport cryogenic materials such as CO2, liquid oxygen, nitrogen, and argon.
