Paving the Way for Women in Trucking: In 2010, Kari Rihm's life completely shifted when she became the owner of Rihm Kenworth after the tragic passing of her husband. Since taking over the business, Kari has expanded the business exponentially. In 2022, the company is proud to celebrate its 90th anniversary.

Out of only a handful of women owned commercial truck dealers, Kari is the only 100% woman-owned Kenworth dealer in the U.S. ''We need to help create a professional pathway for women to succeed in a traditionally male-dominated business,'' Kari says.
