Earlier today, Peterbilt Motors Company announced that the Women in Trucking Association will recognize the company  as a top workplace in the trucking industry at the annual Women In Trucking Accelerate conference in Dallas Texas on November 13^th.

Sources at Peterbilt report that the company has continually worked on efforts to incorporate diversity in the workplace in recent years, specifically focusing on acculturating women within trucking.

“Receiving this award is a testament to Peterbilt’s commitment to fostering and empowering a diverse workforce,” said Jason Skoog, Peterbilt General Manager. “I am excited about our progress to date, and the continued expansion across all of Peterbilt’s diversity initiatives, including the implementation earlier this year of a Veteran’s affinity group.”

In 2018, the Peterbilt’s Women Initiative (PBWIN) was launched, an effort in which the company empowered local students and residents in Peterbilt operations areas as a means of outreach to promote STEAM education in schools and promote gender diversity within the trucking industry.
