Redefining the Road magazine, the official magazine of the Women In Trucking Association (WIT), has announced the recipients of the 2025 “Top Companies for Women to Work in Transportation.” The magazine created the award in 2018 to support an element of WIT’s mission: to promote the accomplishments of companies that are focused on the employment of women in the trucking industry, according to Jennifer Hedrick, CAE, president and CEO of WIT.
There are a number of characteristics that distinguish the companies recognized on this list, according to Brian Everett, publisher of Redefining the Road. These characteristics include corporate cultures that foster gender diversity; competitive compensation and benefits; flexible hours and work requirements; professional development opportunities; and career advancement opportunities.
The list is comprised of a diverse range of company types in the trucking 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. 9-12 in Dallas, Texas. International Motors, formerly Navistar, is the sponsor of this year’s program.
“Earning a place on this distinguished list requires companies to embody the values and actions that define true commitment to attracting, retaining, and engaging more skilled, qualified women as a core business strategy,” said Everett. “The qualification process for this list is rigorous: First, each nomination is carefully reviewed to ensure it meets a minimum threshold of qualifications, and then industry professionals cast their votes to determine the final honorees. Now in its eighth year, this recognition program generated more than 21,000 votes, underscoring the depth of engagement and industry-wide support for advancing women in the trucking industry.
Companies generating the largest number of votes are named to the “Elite 30” of the 2025 Top Companies for Women to Work in Transportation.
