Women In Trucking, a show geared towards men and women listeners, will also address gender diversity issues pushing for more women to join its ranks. With women making up 7% of the trucking industry workforce, SiriusXM’s Women In Trucking will help promote the employment of more women by identifying and removing the obstacles that keep them from entering the field.
“I am excited to host Women In Trucking and to hear from SiriusXM listeners across the country,” said Voie. “I look forward to hearing from both male and female drivers to open up a bold new dialogue about our industry and how we can move forward together.”
“We welcome Ellen Voie and our first, exclusive program dedicated to women in trucking,” said Dave Gorab, VP and general manager of Talk Programming, SiriusXM. “At a time when women are increasingly joining the trucking industry, we are pleased to bring Ellen’s expertise and authoritative voice to our fulltime channel dedicated to professional drivers.”
Before Women in Truckin, Voie was at Schneider, Inc., and served as the Executive Director of Trucker Buddy International, Inc. She has been honored by the White House as a “Transportation Innovators Champion of Change” and in 2016, she was chosen as one of Fleet Owner’s Dozen Outstanding Women In Trucking.
SiriusXM subscribers can hear Road Dog programming via SiriusXM On Demand, through the SiriusXM app on smartphones and other connected devices, as well as online at www.siriusxm.com/player.
