Dallas, Texas — The Women In Trucking Association, in partnership with Triumph, has released its official roster of the top woman-owned transportation businesses for 2024, honoring fifteen enterprises that surpassed five million dollars in gross annual revenue. Published through the official magazine Redefining the Road, the annual list highlights organizations driven by female leadership that maintain robust financial performance, push operational innovation, and demonstrate deep entrepreneurial commitment.

This year’s honorees represent a broad cross-section of the American supply chain, ranging from asset-based motor carriers to specialized logistics providers and brokerage operations. The recognized leaders include Angela Eliacostas of AGT Global Logistics, Andreea Crisan at Andy Transport, Arelis Bonilla leading Aria Logistics, and Tammy Bennett steering Bennett Cartage Consultants alongside Evans Delivery Jacksonville. The list also features Marcia G. Taylor heading the Bennett Family of Companies, Joyce Brenny at Brenny Transportation, Sherri Garner Brumbaugh directing Garner Trucking, Michelle Halkerston leading Hassett Logistics, Lindsey Haught with HTR Logistics, Camilla Moore-Kirsch of Kirsch Transportation Services, Sherri DeJong co-owning Partners Funding, Barb Bakos at Powersource Transportation, Kari Rihm steering Rihm Family Companies, Jennifer Mead leading S-2international, and Sauny Tucker heading Tucker Freight Lines.

Selection standards require majority female ownership coupled with verified fiscal growth and active support for workplace diversity within the transportation sector. Jennifer Hedrick, president and chief executive officer of WIT, noted that these fifteen enterprises set a high standard for commercial practices and industry innovation. The official recognition ceremony is scheduled to take place during the Accelerate! Conference and Expo in Dallas, running from November 10 through November 13.

What This Means for Drivers
