Plano, TX- August 22, 2002- Women in Trucking Association announces it’s winners of the 2022 Top Woman Owned Businesses in Transportation List. Women In Trucking Association, Inc. is a nonprofit association established to encourage the employment of women in the trucking industry, promote their accomplishments and minimize obstacles faced by women working in the trucking industry.

The list was created to recognize women in leadership and encourage more women to become proactive leaders in their organizations – and even start their own businesses, according to WIT president and CEO Ellen Voie. The program supports WIT’s overall mission: To encourage the employment of women in the trucking industry, promote their accomplishments, and minimize the obstacles they face. Entrepreneurship is a viable means of economic self-sufficiency, and many women are choosing an enterprise connected to transportation to be part of their career aspirations, according to Brian Everett, group publisher and editorial director of Redefining the Road magazine. Criteria used to identify qualified applicants include majority ownership by a woman, financial stability and growth, innovation, and entrepreneurial spirit. Each company was nominated and chosen based upon business success and accomplishments–including those related to gender diversity.

“This year’s list is comprised of companies from a diverse range of business sectors in the commercial freight transportation marketplace, including motor carriers, third-party logistics companies, and original equipment manufacturers,” said Everett. “Those who made the list are impressive, high-growth companies that are led by innovative, resourceful female pioneers in the transportation industry.”

Listen to the words of Nicole Glenn (CEO and Founder) of Candor Expedite explain what winning this award means to her, her company and the transportation industry.

Glenn goes on to describe how far the industry has come in the past 22 years that she has been a part of it. “As we continue to take strides with diversity in logistics, we still need to keep this notion front and center as important. Being diverse and gender balanced as an industry requires us to have dedication to the concept and continually practiced with all companies. We would like to thank the women in trucking association for this recognition.”
