Women with Drive (WWD)

Women make up nearly half the workforce, yet remain underrepresented in trucking and logistics. WWD is changing that.

State of the industry

WWD is a national initiative to ensure Canada has a sustainable and competitive workforce by inspiring employers and empowering women to choose to build a career in our sector.

Thanks to the efforts already underway from forward-thinking employers, women employed in trucking and logistics increased by 27% between 2021 and 2016 — that’s 26,235 more women joining our sector who recognize the opportunities for rewarding careers.


Flagship event

Women with Drive Leadership Summit

The Women with Drive Leadership Summit is one of the best places for professional learning and networking with like-minded career-forward leaders and developing leaders. The annual full-day event has been held in Toronto since 2014 in March during the week of International Women’s day.
