NTA Women’s Council
Nebraska Trucking Association Women’s Council
We support. We educate. We empower.
Nebraska Trucking Association is breaking new ground. NTA officially chartered and organized a women’s council to Support, Educate & Empower a young generation of women to consider the transportation as a career. From over-the-road drivers to diesel technicians to safety managers and dispatchers, the opportunities are great. In fact, one in every 12 jobs in our Cornhusker state is linked to trucking/transportation.
Trucking Walks Across Nebraska
We’re walking to make a difference! The Nebraska Trucking Association Women’s Council is organizing an event which will make a difference in the lives of those in our trucking industry. We’re walking for a cause. Any NTA member can participate. Participants will track miles and gather donations for the Nebraska Trucking Cares which helps people in the Nebraska trucking industry in times of crisis.
