Women at PACCAR
PACCAR understands the importance of supporting the development of women leaders. For example, the Peterbilt Women's Initiative (PBWIN) champions the empowerment of women through education, support, networking and development opportunities. Kenworth and Peterbilt were recognized as top places to work for women for 2018 by Women in Trucking. In addition, the PACCAR Women's Association aims to develop female talent to increase women in PACCAR leadership roles.
Michelle Ponsonby was nominated by Redefining the Road Magazine, the Women in Trucking Association official magazine, as a "2018 Top Women to Watch"!

“Over the past three years of PACCAR’s involvement with the Hiring Our Heroes Corporate Fellowship Program we have seen tremendous success! PACCAR truly understands our mission of providing a Fellowship that leads to a new career with the company. To this end, within their time frame of involvement in the CFP Northwest, PACCAR has hosted, hired and retained fellows at an incredible rate, making them a Top 3 “Veteran Ready” employer out of all of our fellowship host companies here in the CFP Northwest since inception in 2015. Their CFP Alumni Network is also very strong, and has proven to be a major factor in PACCAR’s success with Hiring Our Heroes CFP Northwest.”
