Women In Trucking Index

The WIT Index is the official industry barometer to benchmark and measure each year the percentage of women who make up the following roles in transportation:

Corporate management (C-suite)
Boards of Directors
Functional roles (Operations, Technicians, HR/Talent Management, Marketing, etc.)
Professional drivers

The WIT Index is a fundamental report that will help to amplify the brand, reputation, and value of the association to the industry and to the North American economy. For-hire trucking companies, private fleets, asset-based third-party logistics companies (3PLs), drayage companies, and other associations report their percentage of professional drivers who are women. These companies along with other market segments in transportation (such as technology innovators, equipment manufacturers, railroads and ocean carriers also report their percentage of leadership and functional roles that are female.

Data provided will be held in the strictest of confidence and data will only be reported as an aggregate and NOT on an individual basis. If your company requires, WIT is willing to provide a signed Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) to guarantee this promise.

Important Note: To nominate your company as a Top Company for Women to Work For in Transportation or Top Woman-Owned Business in Transportation, you must participate in the WIT Index.
