Driving Change in Canada’s Trucking Industry
The Women’s Trucking Federation of Canada (WTFC) is a national non‑profit dedicated to empowering women, expanding opportunities, and inspiring youth to see trucking as a modern, rewarding career.

We Empower Women and Strengthen Canada’s Trucking Industry
The Women’s Trucking Federation of Canada (WTFC) is a national non-profit built by women and open to all. We unite professional drivers, dispatchers, mechanics, trainers, and carrier leaders to build a stronger, safer, more inclusive industry. Since 2016, our community has delivered real change—raising training standards, advancing safety, growing mentorship, and shifting attitudes across trucking. We back it up with a 200+ member mentorship network that helps newcomers start and stay, advocacy for robust training and higher safety standards, national road-safety and anti-human-trafficking campaigns, youth outreach that presents trucking as a modern career, and our flagship Bridging the Barriers conference that brings the industry together to solve problems. Bottom line: clearer pathways into trucking, support to move from the cab to the boardroom, and a community that treats drivers as highly skilled professionals.
WTFC Mission
Our Experts Team Member Safety and Reliability
WTFC’s goal is straightforward: build a national network that empowers women in trucking and makes the industry stronger, safer, and more inclusive for everyone. We expand employment opportunities, promote trucking as a viable career, and push for professional recognition of drivers—not as clichés, but as skilled, qualified professionals. We execute with action, not slogans: raising training standards, running public safety campaigns around sharing the road with large commercial vehicles, and addressing personal safety issues that women face on and off the job. We invest in mentorship and retention, foster unity between new and experienced drivers, and invite male allyship to accelerate change across fleets, terminals, and boardrooms.
