MedTrans highlights female truckers' positive experiences and work-life balance

MedTrans, a branch of Medline, is actively working to boost female representation in trucking. Five women drivers shared their positive experiences with the company.

Career opportunities: MedTrans drivers start at one of Medline's 50 distribution centers, handle deliveries, and return the same day. This results in good work-life balance.

  • "My family loves that I’m no longer long-distance driving and found a place that I can grow," said Dee Henderson of Arlington, Texas.
  • “With MedTrans, you can make a good living while still being home with your family every night," noted Melissa Harriss from Basehor, Kansas.

Support and safety: The company emphasizes safety and offers mentoring programs. Tawyna Cancilla from Tracy, California mentioned the confidence and courage she gained through her mentor.

  • Colleen Ahlquist of North Grafton, Massachusetts highlighted MedTrans’ dedication to safety: "Medline is huge on safety. I like that."

Melissa Harriss summed it up: "My husband is incredibly supportive and loves to tell everyone his wife can outdrive them any day."
