“We've created an initiative that brings added spotlight on this critical talent pool of women in our industry, and it spans every occupation in trucking,” said CPG Founder and CEO
"It's a permanent addition to CPG, will be staffed permanently with full-time talent, and I'm very excited to be able to bring to bear the CPG’s ability to advocate issues that Women in Motion are identifying as critical to growing our workforce."
WIT is CPG’s new initiative that launched in January to accelerate the rise of women throughout the industry – not just drivers – and help eliminate roadblocks that stand in their way. Working with coalition partners, policymakers and business leaders, WIT aims to create a more secure work environment for women truckers by advocating on issues like safer truck parking and greater diversity. The initiative offers career support and professional development opportunities for women in the industry in addition to promoting trucking careers to women across the country.
WIT’s speaker’s bureau, which includes women truck drivers, women trucking company executives and women state trucking association executives, educates and mentors women in the industry. CPG Tanzania goes into high schools and speaks to young women about the truck driving profession.
