Nearly three quarters of female truckers say that they've turned down routes, contracts or jobs due to safety concerns, while less than a third say that they feel safe sleeping in their truck.

According to a survey of 437 U.S. truckers — including more than 150 women — from trucking bond provider Lance Surety Bonds, 30% of female drivers said that they had experienced sexual harassment on the job, while 28% said that they had faced gender discrimination, and 21% reported that they had been bullied or intimidated by their coworkers or supervisors. The average salary reported by women was also just over $60,000, compared to nearly $73,000 for their male counterparts.

More than half of women said that rest-stop safety measures would help make the job feel more inclusive, while 49% called for women-only or gender-neutral bathrooms and showers, 39% recommended anonymous reporting channels for misconduct or bias, and 33% cited a need for clear and enforced anti-harassment and discrimination policies.

When asked what changes they would want for the industry at-large, 41% of female truckers said that they would like to see more women in leadership and decision-making roles, followed by stronger harassment and discrimination policies (36%), equal pay for equal work (35%), safer and more respectful work environments (32%), and mentorship and sponsorship programs for women (26%).

Despite all that, 85% of female truckers said that they would recommend trucking to other women or younger generations, while 89% said that they were satisfied with their work-life balance. Nearly 60% also said that they got into trucking because of the higher income potential compared to other sectors, while 51% were looking for a career change, and 46% preferred a job that gave them more independence.
