KIM CRABB, CO-OWNER
DIAMOND C TRAILERS
Kim Crabb’s career started in 1981, where she managed daily operations for a small trailer
manufacturer. That was, until the business closed. Kim was left without a job, but, more
importantly, she was left with a lot of trailer knowledge. She knew customers that were left
without product and employees without jobs. So, in 1985, Kim and her husband created
Diamond C Trailers. The company started small, with only two builders and the owners
themselves. Originally, Kim did all the office work, from taking customer orders to hiring
and inventory, as she did all she could to establish a top-quality product manufacturer. Today,
Diamond C Trailers, with Kim’s guidance, maintains a much larger footprint in the market
place.
What do you think is the biggest challenge for the next generation of
women in the industry?
“Just being confident. Women can do it. As any job, you must apply yourself and be determined.
That’s what it takes.”
