Women with Drive

If you were to guess which industries women might be under represented in, the trucking industry would be a pretty good guess.

According to Trucking HR Canada, not only are women under represented in the freight transportation industry, they are actually well below the Canadian national average of 48%.

Trucking HR Canada has found that women make up:

3% of truck drivers
3% of mechanics, transport trailer technicians, and cargo workers
11% of managerial staff
25% of freight claims and safety, and loss prevention specialists
18% of dispatchers
13% of parts technicians

Suggested Mobile Apps for Truck Drivers

The use of mobile devices and mobile apps are booming in the trucking industry and it’s clear that they are a huge part of our lives on the road.

Industry surveys estimate that roughly 60% of truck drivers use their mobile phone for work and they help to improve inefficiencies. Not only do they help us remain connected with our loved ones, but they can improve our safety and track our routes with weather condition updates and alerting capabilities.

Everything of course is very dependent on our personal mobile plans and service provider. We strongly recommend referencing your service plan and possibly negotiating with your provider for something financially suitable that fits with your lifestyle and allows you to use your phone wherever Your Lane takes you.

Western Canada’s Largest Trucking Recruitment Event Truxpo 2016

Is trucking a lifestyle for you? Are you are looking to make a career move? Would you like to get some in-depth responses to your questions before making a big move?

Visit with Our Recruiters at DriveTransX at Western Canada’s largest trucking event, Truxpo at Tradex in Abbotsford, May 13-14, 2016.

TRUXPO: Is an annual event where the many companies within the trucking industry come together to discover the new commercial truck and transportation equipment.

The show is typically held in September but a number of important industry factors have led to moving it to spring. “Early autumn through Christmas is the peak season for the trucking industry,” said Louise Yako, President & CEO, BCTA. “Scheduling a major industry event like TRUXPO during slower periods is more convenient for the industry. We’re looking forward to hosting TRUXPO in May 2016.”

Like Us on Facebook and Follow Us on Twitter to remain informed about the specific details leading up to May 13-14, 2016, along with the many other opportunities at TransX Group of Companies that may arise.

Women in Trucking

#DidYouKnow that 3% is the total percentage of women working in freight transportation.

Currently there is a huge opportunity for women to capitalize on the many jobs available in the trucking industry, such as transport trailer technician, truck mechanic, and truck driver. The industry as a whole is reporting a labour shortage largely due to aging workforce and lower percentage of young people. Of course also contributing to the shortage is the below national average of women workers in the industry.

Trucking HR Canada has developed a committee to develop an employment plan to help increase the number of women participating in the trucking industry. For the complete story, the plan of action, and other related details can be found on their website here.
