The past few decades have witnessed a major shift in gender demographics of drivers around the world, with markets such as the US seeing more women holding driver’s licenses than men. Like most of the associated sectors, towing, and trucking in general, are seeing major changes that reflect this trend. In fact, the American Trucking Association estimates the number of active truck drivers to drop by 175,000 by 2025. To fill this gap, many companies are putting programs in place to specifically recruit women in this hitherto male-dominated sector.
