The newly named 2023 “Top Companies for Women to Work For in Transportation” includes six prominent tank truck carriers: Grammer Logistics, Highway Transport, Quality Carriers, Schneider, SWTO, and Trimac Transportation.
Characteristics that define the 112 companies on the list, which features transport providers and industry suppliers, include corporate cultures that foster gender diversity; competitive compensation and benefits; flexible hours and work requirements; professional development opportunities; and career advancement opportunities.
Qualified companies must meet minimum requirements in what they report through the Women In Trucking Association (WIT) Index, the industry barometer that each year benchmarks and measures 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,” Brian Everett, publisher of WIT magazine Redefining the Road, said in a news release. “Qualifying companies to 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.
“This is the sixth year of this prestigious recognition program and it garnered a record number of more than 27,000 votes to identify and validate the final companies named to the list.”
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.
