Willie Jones, a visionary leader in Jackson, Mississippi, is transforming the transportation industry through DSC Training Academy. His innovative program attempts to break down barriers for women to enter and thrive in the traditionally male-dominated trucking sector. By offering professional pathways and practical training, Jones is actively closing the gender pay gap while ensuring equitable compensation with salary ranging from $50,000 to $70,000 annually.

Participants in the DSC Academy’s “Mississippi Women in Trucking” initiative receive comprehensive support. Apart from offering technical training, the program also takes care of the general needs of women entering the sector by offering childcare, mental health support, and mentorship.
