Central Transport Hiring Discrimination Class Action
Central Transport · Trucking employment · Settlement Reached
About this case
The EEOC alleged that Central Transport repeatedly rejected qualified female applicants for truck-driving positions across multiple locations and hired less-qualified male candidates, relying in part on workforce data to support the alleged sex-discrimination pattern. In May 2026, Central Transport agreed to pay $5.5 million and enter a consent decree requiring changes to its hiring process.
