Teletrac Navman has launched an International Women’s Day special of its Going the Extra Mile campaign, featuring four women from New Zealand, Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States who work in the transport industry.

Launched in April 2021, Going the Extra Mile started as a campaign to recognise and reward hidden heroes within the transport and logistics industry who had gone above and beyond to ensure operations continue to run smoothly during the pandemic.

In its latest International Women’s Day-themed episode, Teletrac Navman spoke to Fiona McDonagh, Courtney Sertdemir, Beth Jones, and Angie Daugherty, about their experience in a traditionally male-dominated industry. The inspirational speakers provided advice to those considering a career in transport and shared who they look up to.
