Breaking Barriers: Women Driving the Future of Logistics
Introduction
Logistics has always been about movement – moving goods, moving ideas and moving industries forward. But one of the most exciting shifts happening today is the growing presence of women in logistics. While it has historically been a male-dominated field, more and more women are stepping into key roles, bringing fresh perspectives, resilience and leadership to the industry.
At Freightline, we see this every day. Our female colleagues are not just keeping things moving; they are driving real change. This International Women’s Day, we want to shine a light on their stories – their challenges, triumphs and the invaluable contributions they make to our team and the wider industry.

Women Who Move Freightline: Stories from Our Team
Olesea Molceanova, Senior Logistics coordinator “I never expected to work in logistics, but now I love the fast-paced environment and the challenges it brings every day. It’s a dynamic industry that constantly pushes me to grow and adapt.”
Isabelle Anderson, Operations Manager “As a woman in logistics, I’ve had to prove myself in ways my male colleagues didn’t. But by staying confident and focused, I’ve earned respect and built a career I’m proud of. Logistics needs strong problem-solvers and there’s nothing stopping women from succeeding in this field.”
Silvia Oprea, European Team Leader “At Freightline, I’ve always felt valued for my skills and contributions. Having a supportive team makes all the difference and I hope more women continue to see logistics as a career full of opportunities.”
The Growing Role of Women in Logistics
Despite the progress, the numbers show there’s still work to be done. Women currently make up around 20% of the logistics workforce, with even fewer in leadership roles. But those numbers don’t tell the full story – because change is happening.
More companies are recognising the value of diverse teams and more women are finding opportunities to lead and innovate in this space. The logistics industry thrives on adaptability, problem-solving and innovation – all qualities that diverse perspectives bring.
At Freightline, we believe that inclusion isn’t just about fairness, it’s about making the industry stronger, more efficient and better equipped for the future. By supporting and empowering women through mentorship, leadership opportunities and an inclusive work environment, we drive progress not just in our company, but in logistics as a whole.
