Across today’s trucking industry, there are more women earning a living driving a truck, working phone lines as a recruiter, guiding dispatch and back-office operations, and sitting in board rooms in executive roles than at any point in trucking history.
The quest for equality in trucking – that is, when the share of women behind the wheel and in leadership positions matches that of male colleagues — is still a work in progress, of course, as are the efforts to create a trucking industry that’s safer for women and offers more robust support structures for a greater female workforce.
