WBENC works to foster diversity in the world of commerce with programs and policies designed to expand opportunities and eliminate barriers in the marketplace for women business owners.

The WBENC is the most recognized Woman Business Enterprise accreditation available to woman-owned organizations. All-State Express Expedited Service has now become North America's largest WBENC Expedited Transportation provider.

Says All-State Express President Spencer Squier, "We feel this will strategically position our company to have the advantage of securing more premium transportation business from companies ranging in size from small to the Fortune 500."

"This will align us with these companies in support of disadvantaged women-owned organizations while recognizing women and their success in the transportation industry from being an owner operator to owning transportation companies."

"Women in our industry have made great strides over the years in making an impact in what has historically been known as a male dominated industry. We as a company feel our existing and future owner operators and fleet owners will greatly benefit from our achievement in obtaining this accreditation from more freight opportunities."

"We are a company moving forward and it is imperative we recognize our owner operators and fleet owners as investors looking for a positive return and this is just one of many advantages that will give them that."
