The Women in Trucking Association has delivered its fourth annual list of Top Women to Watch in Transportation. A record number of nominations were sent in and the editorial staff of WIT’s Redefining the Road magazine selected 73 women in the transportation industry that stood out above the rest. These women are doing their part within this industry to promote gender diversity and showing the world that transportation and trucking isn’t just a ‘man’s job’.
