The ability to balance all aspects of my life while feeling seen and heard as a woman is something I truly value. As the Director of Talent Management, I enjoy sharing with future team members the incredible opportunities available at Trinity for women to thrive and succeed. I’m proud to be part of Team Trinity.”

“This achievement reflects our commitment to creating an inclusive environment where every Team Member can thrive,” said Amy Proctor, Senior Vice President of Logistics Solutions at Trinity. “We continue to empower our Team to reach new heights. In my own journey here, I’ve seen firsthand how our culture of collaboration and growth makes a real difference. The opportunities for leadership development, mentorship, and professional growth have shaped my career and allowed me to contribute in meaningful ways. It’s inspiring to see the impact women have across our company and I’m proud to be part of a Team that champions opportunity for all.”

To date, Trinity employs over 400 Team Members across six Regional Service Centers, with more than half of them being women. Notably, 16.7 percent of these women hold management or leadership roles, including the current President, Sarah Ruffcorn, who also serves as co-chair on the Women in Logistics Committee with the Transportation Intermediaries Association (TIA). 

“We’re incredibly honored to receive this award for a 6th year!” said Sarah Ruffcorn, President of Trinity Logistics. “This achievement reflects our amazing Team that continues to live and create a culture in which anyone can thrive.
