Aim Transportation Solutions, a family-owned and -operated leading provider of commercial fleet services, has moved into the neighborhood to better support its growing dedicated fleet partnership with local Parkersburg business Wincore Window Company, a leading producer of windows and doors. This expansion marks an exciting milestone in the growing relationship between Aim and Wincore as well as for Aim as it continues to grow and serve the needs of its customers at more than 100 locations and operations across the United States.

To further foster innovation, collaboration and professional growth for Aim’s award-winning software development team, Aim Transportation Solutions held its annual Development Summit.

Led by Aim’s Vice President of Software Development, Dan Kellgren, the two-day initiative was to get the team away from their day-to-day tasks to spend time learning and dreaming up big-picture ideas to better support Aim’s employees and customers.

The value Aim’s in-house software development team delivers to the customer experience cannot be overstated. Not only does the group develop technologies that address the challenges inherent in the transportation industry, but they also address the unique challenges inherent in a wide range of industries that Aim’s customers operate within.

Aim Transportation Solutions, one of Newsweek’s 2023 Top 100 Most Loved Workplaces®, hosted its third annual Women in Transportation Discussion Panel. This virtual discussion brought together an esteemed group of women who carry out vital roles in the industry—whether behind the wheel of a truck or behind the president’s desk leading a company—to discuss the importance of women in the commercial transportation industry and to address key challenges and opportunities facing women in the field.

The presence of women is steadily increasing in the traditionally male-dominated commercial transportation industry. As more women join the ranks of truck drivers, dispatchers, managers and executives, their impact is being felt in various aspects of the industry. Their influence has helped drive innovation, safety, and efficiency, highlighting the importance of gender diversity in this crucial function of our country.

Women in the transportation industry diversifies the workforce. Why is this important if not necessary? Women bring different perspectives, experiences and skills to the table, enriching the industry and promoting a more inclusive environment. Incorporating this diversity at every level of the industry—from leadership, to drivers, to mechanics and everything in between—can lead to better problem-solving, increased creativity and improved decision-making. Ultimately, these benefits amount to higher efficiency, enhanced productivity and increased profitability for businesses operating in the transportation sector.
