Bridgestone Americas is strengthening its mission to encourage the employment of women in the industry, promote their accomplishments, and minimize obstacles faced by women working in trucking

The Women In Trucking Association (WIT) welcomes Bridgestone Americas as its newest Gold Level Partner, strengthening its mission to encourage the employment of women in the industry, promote their accomplishments, and minimize obstacles faced by women working in trucking. LaTres Jarrett, Executive Director TBR at Bridgestone Americas, will serve on the Board of Directors.

In 2022, the company was a Platinum Sponsor of WIT’s Accelerate! Conference & Expo held in Dallas, TX Nov. 13-16 and virtually Dec. 6-7. Additionally, Bridgestone Americas further supports the association, as Samantha McCracken, Strategic Operations Manager, is a member of the Content Advisory Council.

“At Bridgestone, we are committed to cultivating a culture that advances equity and embraces individuality,” said Jarrett. “I am thrilled to continue that mission as a member of the WIT Board of Directors, joining forces with my industry colleagues to further advance and promote diversity in the trucking industry.”

“In 2022, Bridgestone Americas formed its DE&I Center of Excellence to cultivate an inclusive culture that advances equity and embraces individuality,” said Ellen Voie, founder of WIT. “Their commitment to DE&I in our industry exhibits the true value of their partnership with the Women In Trucking Association.”
