This prestigious honor highlights companies that demonstrate a commitment to gender diversity, inclusivity, and career advancement for women in the transportation industry. Trinity Logistics ranked highly in these areas, and the nomination was validated by an industry-wide vote involving over 31,000 transportation professionals.

“As someone who has spent my career in male-dominated industries and being relatively new to Trinity with just over two years here, I feel an immense sense of pride that Trinity has been recognized for the sixth consecutive year as a Top Company for Women to Work for in Transportation,” said Carlie Crouch, Director of Talent Management at Trinity. “There is a deep sense of understanding and support at Trinity—as mothers, coworkers, and friends. 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.”

Key features that distinguished Trinity Logistics included its positive and family-friendly culture that supports diversity, competitive pay, quality benefits for employees and their families, ample time off, flexible work arrangements to encourage work-life balance, and extensive professional development opportunities. 

“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. We’re proud of our efforts to continuously offer a supportive environment, ensuring our Team Members have the opportunity to succeed and grow.”

When you hear the word logistics, what jobs come to mind? Most people picture a truck driver over the road or someone stocking shelves in a warehouse. Because of this, many millennials don’t consider a career in logistics. But this field offers a lot more than the jobs you first picture and is not an industry to overlook. Read on to find out why millennials should be interested in logistics. 

LOGISTICS IS GROWING

Career paths in logistics are growing and becoming more common. Why is this? The median age for an employee in this industry is 55, thus making 30 percent of the workforce inching closer to retirement, leaving a shortage of workers. 

Many industries need the logistics field to operate, such as food, pharmaceutical, and medical fields. The need for logistics employees is crucial, making the new target audience for the supply chain industry Millennials and Generation “Z”. The struggle has been how to effectively attract, keep, and mold this specific age group that often turns their heads away from a logistics career path.

WHY MILLENNIALS DON’T CONSIDER LOGISTICS

Industry experts wonder why these generations aren’t attracted to this industry. One main reason is that young adults don’t see this field as a long-term career path. Trucking isn’t seen as an ideal career for them, nor does logistics carry the same connotation as other fields, like the medical industry which connotes prestige and excellence. Yet, Millennials don’t dive into the importance of logistics. This industry is an untapped pool of growth opportunities, well-paid jobs, and more. 

THE ADVANTAGES OF HAVING MILLENNIALS IN LOGISTICS

Millennials and Gen “Z” have invaluable aspects that are a necessity in a business’s operations. One key factor is that Millennials grew up around technology. They grew up with a focus on the internet, social media, and cell phones. Because of their tech-driven lifestyles, they can quickly adapt to new technology. Whether that be running social media accounts, fixing minor IT issues, or improving business involvement online. The logistics field is becoming more technology-based and with these tech-savvy employees, running and operating a business becomes more efficient. 

Another advantage Millennials bring to the logistics force is highly educated, focused, and driven individuals. Millennials grew up with the expectation of going to college. That is why 45 percent of Millennials hold a bachelor’s degree compared to Baby Boomers at only 18 percent. With this in mind, Millennials offer businesses fresh perspective and a hard work ethic. 

One final advantage of Millennials in logistics is they are not afraid to challenge the status quo. Millennials are not afraid to speak out on inefficiencies or wrongdoings. They are very effective in pointing out weaknesses and finding a solution to the problems. 

HOW TO ATTRACT MILLENNIALS TO LOGISTICS CAREERS

It’s important to understand what Millennials and Generation “Z” look for in a workplace environment so you can attract and keep these talented individuals. One important value to this generation is having the opportunity to grow. People in this generation focus on where their profession can take them. When they see an opportunity, they often take action. Seeing opportunities can mean giving a job a deeper meaning, doing constant performance evaluations, and expressing what path they want their career to take them. Millennials are goal-oriented, so if they see targets for themselves, they will work hard and become more driven to meet those goals. 

Another area that holds value to Millennials is flexibility. This could be anything from having a casual dress code, flexible hours, or the option to work remotely. Millennials take everything into consideration when it comes to their careers. This generation looks not only at the wages for a position, but also the work environment, the benefits, and the company culture.
