Women in Trucking (WIT) Reaches 500 Members in Less Than Six Months
PLOVER, WI – Women In Trucking (WIT), has grown to more than 500 corporate and individual members in less than six months since its inception.
PLOVER, WI – Women In Trucking (WIT), a non-profit organization created to encourage the employment of women in the trucking industry and assist in promoting a more female-friendly environment for those already in the industry, has grown to more than 500 corporate and individual members in less than six months since its inception.
“I believe the strength behind the organization lies in the varied and vast career success of our board of directors,” said Ellen Voie, WIT chairwoman and Schneider National’s manager of recruiting and retention programs. “The women on our board bring a combined total of 265 years of service to the trucking industry and with that kind of power behind us we can make some changes.”
WIT was officially founded on March 12, as a means to not only get more women interested in the trucking industry, but also to provide a platform to voice the successes and struggles of those women already in the male-dominated field. The organization now has 12 board members, 44 corporate members, 16 sponsors, 98 male members, 402 female members, and one staff member.
“Although encouraging women to join the industry plays a role in WIT,” Voie said, “it’s not our only focus. We believe that providing a greater understanding of the special challenges that women face on the road, under the hood, or behind the desk will only serve to better the industry. Among our many goals, we plan to hold our own convention to honor carriers, truckstops, and suppliers who have proven to be female-friendly in their hiring and retention practices. It’s not just about voicing an opinion; it’s about understanding an issue, addressing it, and hopefully in the end, remedying it. With over 500 men and women already joining us, I think it’s a sign the industry is ready for us!”
