Plover, WI – Sept. 19, 2022 – The Women In Trucking Association (WIT) welcomes DAT Freight & Analytics as its newest Gold Level Partner. The Gold Level partnership is the highest level of support and commitment to the WIT mission: to encourage employment, promote accomplishments and minimize obstacles faced by women working in the trucking industry.

"DAT is proud to support Women In Trucking and its mission to encourage more women to join the industry and to support the women already here,” said Boone. “I started my career in engineering and know how valuable it is to demystify traditionally male-dominated industries to demonstrate the opportunities for women.
