How to Hire & Retain More Women in Trucking

In part two of Industry Insights with Route Consultant, Ellen Voie, founder of the nonprofit Women in Trucking, explains practical steps for employers and drivers to advance women’s participation in trucking and supply chain. She describes the association’s role as a collective voice providing education and networking, including free webinars, white papers like an anti-harassment employment guide, and data such as the Women in Trucking Index. Ellen shares recruiting and retention tips, discusses common barriers like hiring bias, lack of women in visible leadership, and workplace “covering,” and emphasizes building cultures that encourage feedback and make employees comfortable bringing their whole selves to work. The conversation highlights benefits of women in leadership and safety-focused roles, addresses preparing for transgender applicants, and notes the Women in Trucking Foundation’s scholarships and Ellen’s book, From Dispatcher to Disruptor.
