International Women’s Day: Spotlight on women in transportation

Amazon Relay gives carriers the opportunity to tap into our extensive network and technology to build and grow their transportation business. From business owners to drivers, women are achieving their goals through jobs in the transportation industry—in collaboration with Amazon Relay.

To celebrate International Women’s Day and encourage more women to consider the transportation industry, we asked some of our Amazon Relay partners to share their career journeys and reflect on the skills they have and how they use them in their day-to-day work. 

Trailblazing women in transportation  

The women of Amazon Relay bring a variety of skills to the table: for some, it’s resilience, ambition and the transformative power of pursuing their goals. For others, it’s leading teams, managing supply chains and inspiring the next generation of young women to envision their own paths in the transportation industry and beyond. We see the women who make up our carrier network as trailblazers, leading the way forward and guiding us with their stories. For those who’ve always loved exploring the world, they can now also help keep it moving.

The contributions and success stories of our female business owners and drivers help show that the entire transportation industry benefits when women are given opportunities to thrive.

Why we do what we do  

At Amazon Relay, we are working to drive change and encourage greater representation of women in the transportation industry. We know that there is still a long way to go, and one way to do that is by celebrating women who are working to bring other women into the industry.

By championing diverse perspectives and dismantling gender barriers, these women have not only achieved personal success but have also driven positive change within the industry at large. Amazon Relay offers access to thousands of loads, ensuring high growth potential for companies. Together, we continue building an inclusive transportation landscape, ensuring that ambitious women can find both opportunity and community when they collaborate with us.

This International Women’s Day and every day, we celebrate women who keep the world moving. Together, we can accelerate action.
