In addition to mentoring, supporting, and developing employees into strong leaders, Larson is a member of the Paccar Women’s Association.

“I can relate to women beginning or growing their careers in the transportation industry. Helping women in transportation find a path to meet their ambitions is an area I care strongly about,” said Larson. “There are so many opportunities for women in the trucking industry and it is very gratifying to see so many women making their mark in this business.”
