Redefining the Road magazine, the official publication of the Women In Trucking Association (WIT), recently announced the recipients of the 2024 “Top Companies for Women to Work in Transportation” award.
This award, introduced by the magazine in 2018, aligns with WIT’s mission of recognizing companies that prioritize hiring and supporting women in the trucking industry, according to Jennifer Hedrick, president and CEO of WIT.

These companies will be honored at the WIT Accelerate! Conference & Expo, taking place from Nov. 10-13 in Dallas. The program this year is sponsored by International Motors, formerly known as Navistar.
