Who Is Women In Trucking?

The Women In Trucking Association is a leading organization that advocates for women in the trucking industry by providing resources, mentorship, education, and networking opportunities.

Her contribution not only strengthened DISA's role in WIT but also reinforced the importance of empowering women leaders in the field.

Trucking is a vital part of our economy, and ensuring that women have the resources, support, and opportunities they need to succeed benefits everyone. At DISA, we're not just talking about diversity, we're taking action to support it.
