YMX Logistics has announced that Chief Operating Officer Erin Mitchell has been named a 2025 Top Women to Watch in Transportation by the Women in Trucking Association.

Each year, Redefining the Road, the official magazine of the Women in Trucking Association, recognizes standout performers across the transportation sector who have demonstrated significant accomplishments over the past year—and who go the extra mile to support other women while advancing gender diversity, both within their own organizations and across the industry. The honorees are known for being resourceful, innovative, and impactful, bringing diverse thought, leadership, and results to the field.

At YMX, we’re proving that operational excellence and representation go hand in hand—by reimagining how we train, develop, and support our workforce, and by making bold moves in technology, safety, and sustainability. We’re building a future where more women can not only thrive in logistics, but lead it.”
