Those who know me well, know that highlighting the differences associated with being a woman in the workplace is not a subject that excites me. I long for the day when it isn’t noteworthy, and we can just accolade the individual. No need to asterisk her success: She’s smart/talented/accomplished for a woman.
But we’re not there yet, so continuing to talk about it is important. Highlighting the successes of women in our industry makes it easier for others to imagine their own. Emulating the path of others seems more achievable than blazing a new one—not only for young girls imagining what they want to be when they grow up but also for young ladies contemplating college courses and career decisions. Our industry needs both.

A Strong Foundation: People, Technology, Capacity
By Shelley Simpson
J.B. Hunt Transport, Inc. recently passed a big milestone: 60 years in business. That’s 60 years of building on Johnnie Bryan and Johnelle Hunt’s innovation and vision for a more efficient supply chain. That’s 60 years of delivering for our customers and taking care of our people.
When we took the time to reflect on our history, three important themes emerged. They are the foundations of all that has come before, and all that will come after. These three company foundations personify the momentum that got us here and the vision that will continue to push us forward.

College football is back. Woo Pig Sooie!! Bust out your team colors, criticize the pre-season rankings, make your own predictions and escape real-world realities for a few hours. Whether you’re gathered in the bleachers or in living rooms and sports bars around the state, supporting your team is just a good way to spend a Saturday. Paint your face, scream your lungs out, invest a little too much emotion in the outcome of the game; however you fan, I’m here for it.
The game day commercial breaks I’m less enthusiastic about.
This year, especially, it feels like the boundary between the challenges of the industry are seeping into the spaces between quarters, and the feeling I am left with is whiplash and even a little bit of dread.
