Celebrating Women In Energy: Ashley Smith, Truckers Against Trafficking
/

Every March since 1987, Congress and U.S. Presidents have designated March as Women’s History Month. This year, The Crude Life celebrates and honors their accomplishments and contributions in history with interviews and stories that center around women’s experiences in industry.

Ashley gives an overview of what Truckers Against Trafficking is and why she is at the oil and gas conference.

The three also dive into the issue of trafficking. From border security to the domestic issues, no question or vein is off limits when discussing this important issue.

Ashley gives signs to look for, stats to understand and who to call for help.

Prevention and education are reoccurring themes throughout the interview. For example, when discussing “Johns”, Ashley points out the traditional pop culture version is rarely the reality. Most likely it is a woman or an ex-military person running the show. Female “Johns” can be called “Joans” or “Jos”.

Furthermore, the discussion goes deeper into the issue of white collar targets at sporting events, trade shows and professional networking events.

The idea of the “lot lizard” and “business escorts” are compared and contrasted.

The three transition into “trucker’s wisdom” and how a trucking trade show differs from oil and gas. And surprisingly, according to Ashley, the Trucker’s Trade Show are often bigger than the oil shows which have a 150-foot tall well pad out in the parking lot and semi’s on display.
