Leah Shaver is president and CEO of the National Transportation Institute (NTI). As a woman who’s been working in the trucking industry for more than two decades, she’s passionate about issues affecting women in a traditionally mostly-male industry.
NTI is woman-owned; she served six years on the board of directors of the Women in Trucking Association, and she recently became a parent — so the topic of women in trucking is something she’s personally and professionally passionate about.
“Many women are on leadership tracks or have the potential for career advancement, but the greatest hurdle for them can actually be the personal demands they face at home and professionally at work.”
