PLOVER, Wi. – Oct. 12, 2026 – Today the list of the 2026 “Top Companies for Women to Work in Trucking” has been released by Redefining the Road magazine, the official magazine of the Women In Trucking Association (WIT). The magazine created the award in 2018 to support an element of WIT’s mission: to promote the accomplishments of companies that are focused on the employment and advancement of women in the trucking industry, according to Lana Nichols, interim president and CEO of WIT.
There are a number of characteristics that distinguish the companies recognized on this list, according to Brian Everett, group publisher and editorial director of Redefining the Road. These characteristics include corporate cultures that foster gender diversity; competitive compensation and benefits; flexible hours and work requirements; professional development opportunities; and career advancement opportunities.
The list is comprised of a diverse range of company types in the trucking marketplace, including motor carriers, third-party logistics companies, and original equipment manufacturers. These companies will be recognized at the upcoming WIT Accelerate! Conference & Expo Oct. 25-28 in Dallas, Texas. ExxonMobil is the sponsor of this year’s program.
“Being recognized as one of the Top Companies for Women to Work in Trucking reflects a genuine, organization-wide commitment to creating a workplace where women can build meaningful, successful careers while helping companies strengthen their workforce and business performance,” said Brian Everett, group publisher & editorial director of Redefining the Road magazine. “The selection process is intentionally rigorous. Every nomination is thoroughly evaluated against established criteria before transportation professionals from across the industry cast their votes to help determine the final honorees. Now in its ninth year, with more than 18,000 votes cast, the program continues to demonstrate the trucking industry's growing commitment to recognizing employers that are setting the standard for workplace culture, leadership, professional development, and opportunities for women.”
