It’s clear that women belong in the transportation industry. Yet, according to data compiled by Women In Trucking, a nonprofit organization that works to encourage the employment of women in the industry, there is still room for women to succeed—“from the driver’s seat to the C-suite,” as the organization writes.
Women in Trucking recently released its WIT Index, a report of gender diversity data within the industry for 2024 and 2025. The index compiles survey results from those who were authorized to respond to the survey questions on behalf of their organization within the industry.
The following statistics make up the average responses of these survey participants. The data concerning professional drivers are based on CDL holders who drive medium- and heavy-duty commercial vehicles.
