San Diego, California – Today, the �Ӱɴ�ý presented nine companies with the inaugural �Ӱɴ�ý Diversity Equity and Inclusion Change Leader Award for their commitment to creating a culture of acceptance and belonging for their employees.

“�Ӱɴ�ý has led the charge to make trucking more diverse, and we are proud to recognize these companies for all they are doing to create a positive workplace culture for everyone,” said �Ӱɴ�ý President and CEO Chris Spear. “It is easy to talk about improving diversity, but these companies do the hard work of walking the walk and for that reason we are happy to honor them with this Change Leader Award.”

The Diversity Equity and Inclusion Change Leader Award, sponsored by TenStreet, encourages �Ӱɴ�ý members to implement a DEI program or continue to improve an established company DEI program.

• Cargo Transporters Inc.
• Cummins Inc.
• FedEx Ground
• Garner Trucking
• Locomation
