As we celebrate Women's History Month, it's essential to recognize women's pivotal role in shaping the transportation industry for over 170 years. From the early trailblazers to today’s driving professionals, women have left an indelible mark on truck driving. We want to celebrate and uplift the accomplishments of female truck drivers – we wouldn’t be where we are today without your skill, passion, and perseverance.

At Averitt, we have plenty to be proud of. As a leader in the truck driving industry for over 50 years, our team of talented associates has achieved many accomplishments. One of our core principles is believing that everyone belongs in the driver’s seat. We are committed to living that out by having an inclusive, diverse team of skilled and passionate associates. We are honored to have received 2023’s Top Company for Women to Work for in Transportation. 

In recognition of Women’s History Month, Averitt Express turns the spotlight on the women who drive our industry – and economy! Valerie and Tina, two of our professional drivers who represent women truckers, answer questions about being part of the Averitt family.
