MedTrans, a division of Medline, is gaining recognition for offering women drivers opportunities in the trucking industry. During National Truck Driver Appreciation Week, several women shared their experiences.
Why it matters: The trucking industry has low representation of women drivers. MedTrans is actively working to change this.
- Support and Training: Drivers like Dee Henderson and Tina Thompson highlight the excellent career support and competitive benefits offered by MedTrans.
- Work-life Balance: Unlike many trucking jobs, MedTrans drivers typically return home daily. This allows for a healthier balance between work and family.
- Safety Focus: Colleen Ahlquist appreciates MedLine's strong commitment to regular safety training and competitions promoting best practices.
One driver, Melissa Harriss, emphasized the value of being able to spend time with her family while still making a good living.
The bottom line: MedTrans' commitment to enhancing the representation and support of women in trucking could serve as a model for the industry.
