This week, haulier James S. Hislop collected a new trailer from Fruehauf with the occasion was captured by the our media team. During the photoshoot, Hislop asked for his Girl Torque plush toy to be included in the pictures. A light-hearted but meaningful gesture aimed at raising awareness of the charity’s mission to promote and support women drivers within the transport industry.

Girl Torque, a registered charity, works to break down barriers for women in haulage, celebrate their achievements, and inspire more to pursue careers in the sector. Alongside its advocacy, the organisation also raises vital funds for a range of good causes, ensuring its impact is felt both inside and outside of the logistics community.

The simple act of showcasing the Girl Torque emblem underlined the pride and passion drivers like Hislop have in supporting greater inclusivity across the sector. It also reflected the way the haulage industry has evolved over the past decade, becoming more open and welcoming to all.

Fruehauf welcomed the initiative, noting that customers who actively champion such causes play an important role in shining a spotlight on progress within the industry. By celebrating organisations like Girl Torque, the transport community continues to demonstrate its strength, solidarity, and commitment to positive change.
