The Women In Trucking Association (WIT) now has a state-of-the-art training simulator featured in the educational trailer, WITney. The custom-built TaskMaster Driver Training Simulator was donated by Advanced Training Systems (ATS), headquartered in St. Petersburg, Fla.

The educational trailer is the cornerstone of the association’s Driver Ambassador program, aimed at promoting career opportunities for women in the trucking industry, celebrating inspirational women, and raising awareness of WIT’s mission.

“The simulator is the top feature of WITney and the reason many people even enter the trailer,” said Ellen Voie, WIT president and CEO. “Everyone wants to test his or her skills as a professional driver, and this simulator gives a small glimpse into what the job is like from the seat of a cab.”

The ATS TaskMaster contains patented technology that provides the most “true to life” simulated training with an embedded interactive Digital Coach. Driving skill sets are broken into user-friendly manageable sections that enable the trainee to build a solid foundation before moving on to the next lesson. The embedded remediation by the Digital Coach increases training efficiency and streamlines the learning curve. Students not only learn quicker on a TaskMaster, but they are better prepared in hazard perception awareness and reaction skills when they get on the road.

“We are so proud to have been able to provide WIT with a new custom TaskMaster for their educational trailer, WITney,” said Becky Hudson, ATS vice president. “WIT does such great work and ATS is committed to providing the best simulators to all who train new drivers, especially with the advent of training younger drivers.”

The expo trailer can be seen at industry events, schools, and Girl Scout events, as well as recruiting and hiring events.
