Our mission
We report on trucking as a profession. That means we cover the CDL process, pay structures, equipment choices and safety practices with the same seriousness a trade publication would give any skilled trade, because that is exactly what commercial driving is.
Roughly 8 percent of U.S. truck drivers are women, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data, and that number has grown slowly but steadily over the past decade. Pink TRK exists for that growing group and for the women weighing whether a CDL is their next move.
What we cover
Our content sits across seven areas: entering and staying in the industry, life on the road, trucking careers, CDL training, driver safety, truck stops and parking, and equipment. Every article separates researched industry guidance from personal experience, and we do not claim firsthand driving or equipment testing unless it genuinely happened.
What we will not do
Pink TRK will not run stories that treat women drivers as novelty acts, suggest gender determines driving ability, encourage violating hours-of-service rules, minimize harassment, or promise trucking income we cannot back up. If a piece includes a sponsored recruiting relationship or an equipment recommendation with a commercial tie, we disclose it plainly.
