Nearly every data source tracking transportation activity (rail, truck, bus, air, pipeline and local delivery) is showing not only strong growth against last year’s pandemic-impacted lockdown period, but it is still trending
well above 2019 levels and is expected to continue to do so. What does that mean for the transportation industry? Hiring, hiring and more hiring. In fact, everywhere you look companies are looking for people to get products to consumers.

What is the key to success when outfitting anyone working in the transportation industry? I’d say it is all about the bottoms – pants and shorts. AND, comfort starts with the waistband. These microfiber pants are the backbone to a great transit uniform program. The EZ fit waistband offers 2″ of adjustment and these pants are lightweight with a great hand. The performance fabric provides moisture wicking and soil release technology without compromising design and comfort.

A great bottom deserves a dynamic top. What you wear from the waist up is often driven by corporate branding and job function. Here is a few of my favorite choices when creating a wardrobe for your transit uniform program. Keep in mind that Edwards offers a wide variety of tops to meet any brand selection.

Lastly, I want to discuss cover-ups, meaning sweaters, jackets and even suit coats. The weather is always a consideration for this industry and how you layer up is critical.

Transportation and getting products to market is a growing strong. Contact your transit clients to discuss their next uniform program. Edwards can assist you with merchandising ideas and presentations. Need more inspiration? Click on this industry inspiration guide below. Happy Shopping!
