Marathon named a Top company for Women to Work in Trucking. Oct 20 2026 Operations & Marketing This marks the fifth consecutive year the company has earned the designation. Marathon Petroleum Corp. (MPC) has been included in Women In Trucking's (WIT) 2026 list of Top Companies to Work in Trucking. The recognition highlights companies across the commercial freight transportation marketplace that are creating workplaces where all employees can build careers, lead and grow, according to a statement from Marathon. MPC was selected through a two-step process that includes a review of nominated companies based on key criteria, including a corporate culture of inclusion, competitive compensation and benefits, flexible hours and work requirements, professional development opportunities and career advancement opportunities. The nomination was then validated by an industrywide vote involving more than 18,000 trucking professionals, including executive management, operations, safety, HR and talent management executives, and professional drivers. This is the fifth straight year MPC has earned the recognition. MPC also was named to "The Elite 30," which recognizes the 30 companies that generated the highest number of industrywide votes in the program. "This recognition program highlights the trucking industry leaders that are making meaningful investments in building more inclusive and supportive workplaces," said Brian Everett, group publisher and editorial director of Redefining the Road magazine. "Recognizing these companies celebrates the progress they've made and the positive example they continue to set for the industry." The list includes motor carriers, third-party logistics companies and original equipment manufacturers. "This recognition is meaningful because it reflects the work our teams do every day to create an environment where members of our transport team, including drivers, can succeed safely, feel supported and see a long-term future in transportation," said Katie Meschede, Marathon Petroleum Transport Operations Director West. "Safety is the key to our operations, and that fundamental commitment goes hand in hand with building a culture where people have the resources, training and opportunities to grow." Industry recognition. As Marathon continues to receive industry accolades for its commitment to culture, it is simultaneously being recognized for safety. Last week, Marathon Petroleum's Garyville refinery in Louisiana was re-certified as a Voluntary Protection Programs (VPP) Star site by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), continuing a designation Garyville has held since 1994. Garyville's history with VPP goes back even further. The refinery began working with OSHA in the 1980s as the agency developed the program and later became the first refinery in Louisiana to earn VPP Star status. Garyville remains among the longest-running VPP Star refineries in the country. VPP Star is OSHA's highest level of recognition for workplaces with comprehensive safety and health management systems and a strong commitment from employees and management. "Maintaining VPP Star status for 32 consecutive years reflects the dedication of every employee and contractor who works safely, looks out for one another, and continuously seeks opportunities to improve," said Holly Jackson, vice president of refining at the Garyville refinery. "This achievement demonstrates that safety remains a foundational commitment at Garyville and a key part of how we operate every day." This year's recertification included interviews with dozens of employees and contractors, refinery tours and a review of safety programs. Evaluators highlighted the pride and engagement of the workforce, and the initial review concluded with no findings or corrective actions.
