The Women In Trucking association has created a blog in an effort to connect with its nearly 1,800 members.

The online forum, womenintruckingblog.com, was created with the support of national trucking and logistics company Con-Way Inc. It’s open to anyone, regardless of gender, position or driving experience.

"Drivers are some of the most technologically advanced people I know and many of them interact via social media each day," said Ellen Voie, WIT’s president and CEO. "By offering this forum we can give our members the opportunity to connect with others who share their involvement in trucking and to learn more about our organization in the process."

WIT hopes that the blog will serve to continue the organization’s mission of encouraging women to pursue trucking careers and supporting them as they grow and develop in the industry.
