Entrepreneurship is a viable means of economic self-sufficiency and many women are choosing an enterprise connected to transportation to be part of their career aspirations. WIT’s official magazine, Redefining the Road, featured in its edition 2 of 2021, a list of “Top Woman-Owned Businesses” in transportation. Criteria used to identify qualified applicants will include status as majority ownership by a woman, financial stability and growth, innovation, and entrepreneurial spirit of the woman owner.

Here's how it works:

• Complete the Nomination Form (there is no fee to apply or nominate)
• Be prepared to confirm the enterprise has majority ownership/control by a woman and that the organization generates a minimum of U.S. $5 million in gross annual sales.
• Recipients of 2021 Top Woman-Owned Businesses in Transportation will be selected following the nomination deadline.
• Top Woman-Owned Businesses in Transportation will be published in the Redefining the Road magazine (Edition 2) in August and will be recognized during a special program during the 2021 Accelerate! Conference & Expo.
• While membership in the Women In Trucking Association isn't a requirement, nominated companies are highly encouraged to join WIT community.
