The ranking was created in 2018 to promote the accomplishments of companies that are focused on the employment of women in the trucking industry. Companies included on the listing are evaluated on several key features including:
- Culture that fosters gender diversity
- Competitive compensation and benefits
- Professional development opportunities and career advancement opportunities
After Women in Trucking endorses a company's nomination, it is validated by an industry-wide vote involving more than 13,000 professionals in transportation – including executive management, operations and HR/talent management executives, and professional drivers.
Penske subsidiary, EPES Transport System, also made the 2020 list.
The winning companies will be recognized at WIT's Virtual Accelerate! Conference & Expo during a special awards program and are featured in the upcoming cover story of Redefining the Road magazine.
