The trucking industry was a male dominated occupation leaving women truck drivers stereotyped. So I think my friend should be selected as one of Overdrive’s Most Beautiful because she has been out to change that since she was 18. starting at such a young age wasn’t easy. Things like being intimidated by other drivers or site foremen made some jobs difficult. But after proving herself capable she continued to stick it out and is now on her 5th year of driving a dump truck for construction companies. she loves her occupation and doesn’t plan on giving it up anytime soon. Her main goal is to leave the construction world and start a new adventure in long haul.
Overdrive editors and ATBS present the industry’s best manual for prospective and committed owner-operators. You’ll find exceptional depth on many issues in the 2022 edition of Partners in Business.
