Plover, WI… Redefining the Road magazine, the official magazine of the Women In Trucking
Association (WIT), announces the recipients of the 2018 “Top 50 Companies for
Women to Work For in Transportation.” According to Ellen Voie, president and
CEO of WIT, the magazine created the award to support WIT’s mission: To
encourage the employment of women in the trucking industry, promote their
accomplishments, and minimize obstacles faced by women working in the trucking
industry.
According to Brian Everett, publisher of Redefining
the Road, there are five key features that distinguish companies
recognized on this list: corporate cultures that foster gender diversity;
competitive compensation and benefits; flexible hours and work requirements;
professional development opportunities; and career advancement opportunities.
“This newly created award is driven by the marketplace, and
the sheer number of individuals in the industry who participated in the process
is incredible,” said Everett. Nearly 150 nominations were received, and more
than 7,000 votes were cast to identify the companies named to the list,
according to Everett.
The list is comprised of a diverse range of business sectors
in the commercial freight transportation marketplace, including motor carriers,
