For those who responded to the NTI survey, the average percentage of over-the-road drivers who are female was 7.13% in 2017 and increased to 7.89% in 2018. The needle was moving slightly, and the number of respondents was increasing.
In 2019, we partnered with FreightWaves to conduct a survey to determine the industry’s participation of women as technicians, safety directors, managers and professional drivers. They received 884 responses from for-hire and private carriers, logistics companies, and freight tech firms.
Overall, the respondents reported that women make up 10% of all over-the-road drivers. We also learned that only 4% of diesel technicians are women, and that about 38% of fleet safety professionals are women.

What about the leadership teams? In the United States, women currently comprise 7.4% of all CEOs in Fortune 500 companies, and about 26% of all board seats, despitepite recent legislation to establish diversity quotas.

The FreightWaves survey found that female executives in trucking make up 36% of the leadership in transportation, and just over 45% of non-executive employees.

Each year, we also examine the publicly traded trucking companies by partnering with Memphis University to conduct the research. In 2020, of the 14 publicly traded carriers, women comprised 22% of the board director seats, but only nine% of the leadership executives. (One carrier has no women serving on their board of directors, and seven carriers have no female executives.)

What have we learned from monitoring this data? It reinforces the mission of Women In Trucking Association to encourage the employment of women in the transportation industry and to address obstacles (such as unconscious bias in hiring and promoting) and to celebrate the successes of the women who have become visible and influential.
tion
Now that we can monitor the data, our goal is to see the numbers increase in all areas. Our intent is to make the trucking industry a more diverse and inclusive environment. We ask that you support our efforts by joining us (
WomenInTrucking.org) as we create this positive change.
