WIT Names Top Companies for Women in Transportation

The Women In Trucking Association has announced the recipients of the 2023 Top Companies for Women to Work For in Transportation.

Jennifer Hedrick, president and CEO of WIT, said its Redefining the Road magazine created the award in 2018 to promote the accomplishments of companies that are focused on the employment of women in the trucking industry.

Some of the characteristics that distinguish these companies include corporate cultures that foster gender diversity, competitive compensation and benefits, flexible hours and work requirements, professional development opportunities, and career advancement opportunities, said Brian Everett, publisher of Redefining the Road.

Qualified companies also must meet minimum requirements of what they report through the WIT Index, the industry barometer that benchmarks and measures each year the percentage of women who make up critical roles in transportation.

“Companies named to this prestigious list must demonstrate corporate attributes that are essential to any successful enterprise committed to gender diversity as part of their corporate strategy,” said Everett.

He explained selecting companies for this list entails a two-step process.

First, nominations by companies are carefully reviewed to ensure they meet a minimum threshold of qualifications. Then the final ballot of companies is voted on by individuals in the industry. The recognition program garnered a record number of more than 27,000 votes this year, according to WIT.

The list is comprised of a diverse range of business sectors in the commercial freight transportation marketplace, including motor carriers, third-party logistics companies, and original equipment manufacturers. These companies will be recognized at the upcoming WIT Accelerate! Conference & Expo, Nov. 5-8 in Dallas, Texas. Navistar is the sponsor of this year’s program.
