Run by the Freight Transport Association, the awards will be presented next month (3 June) at a ceremony in London and will feature winners for categories such as rising star of the year, team leader, driver, leader and industry champion.
The finalists, says FTA, represent 24 of the "most inspirational role models" for the sector, and include warehouse managers, bus drivers and business leaders.
David Wells, chief executive of the FTA, says the organisation is proud to be the title partner of the awards, which have been running for eight years.
He adds: "These awards encourage forward-thinking companies that are committed to introducing diversity to the freight industry, and showcase how women can make a career in transport a successful and fulfilling one."
