Women Truck Drivers, have you some advice?

I am a woman who is thinking of going to a truck driving school like England(CR). I am middle age and my options for office and stuff are falling off. I have driven for a coupl different time periods autos for a transport co. to and from auction and dealer to dealer, but we parted on less than desireable terms, I like driving, so know how people are on the road (in a way , and can handle a car have great road judgment, on that level, at the very least. I have total respect for you great safe truckers out there, my brother is an OTR driver Heavy machinery But are woman going to the schools .. even? I look at some sites and never see any women in the pics for vids or .and the auctions which were by truck stops I never saw any women truckers (course I didn't hang out I just gasup paid but the bill, ..so what you diesal dy..I mean lovely ladies say? I happen to be Les(out) and figured theres afew more diesal d y k e s out there but I know straight gals are out there too, no offenseWomen Truck Drivers, have you some advice?
I have been a truck driver for 8 years making good money. From what I understand you are a lesbo is that correct?


Any moron can drive a car so lets see how you do as a truck driver. I would offer advice but not to a lesbian. So if you are straight and want advice from a seasoned pro let me knowWomen Truck Drivers, have you some advice?
Wow...wonder why this is in the LGBT section?





In the U S yes, there are many women truckers.. Truck drivers make pretty good money all around the world I know.





I say go for it. They probably won't bother you...most men are just trying to mind their own business.
Whenever I see a female truck driver I am usually awed because it is just cool to see a woman handle the rig so well. I never knew people thought women who drive trucks were les but it is cool to see them.
if this is what you wanna do,go for it,dont be put off with few women doing this job,just try it out and see how it goes,give it your best shot!good luck
I have a friend who was a OTR but was also a suicide jocky carring explosive materials. She was straight and had a lunitic for a boyfriend. Nice but out there. She had three trucks on the road leased to different compaines plus her own, she said she only hired guys because the women thought because she was a woman she would be easier on them. She made sure her cheater bar (she had also carried lumber) was handy at night and it only took once of having to convince another trucker with the cheater bar she was not looking for companionship by being on the road. Word spread that she was a crazy as her boyfriend. No more problems. She called one afternoon and asked if I'd run lights for her, she needed a double bumper escort. She was headed to Nasa. She had a load that needed cooling and her air died on the trailor. When we got to her the police decided to run escort too. One of the cops started laughing and every one had to go see what was up. Here's the gal putting stick on signs on the truck. Her truck now read High Explosives Student Driver. We had no trouble making the run, and one of the cops went into the gift shop at Nasa to get a roll of film for his camera to take pictures of her and the student driver sign.


You have to set your mind right to drive and it can real quick break you down if you don't pay attention. It's going to be hard to make money right now, but if you learn to drive and can get into a company thats good to their employees it can be a great job. Right now they are going to need drivers a lot of them are parking their rigs and going to work in jobs close to home. The couple girls I know that used to be on the road say to tell you take a few lessons in some kind of marshall arts or get lisensed to carry (a gun), also a short bar or cheater bar and ';Learn How To Use It'; . Until you get out there and people learn your honest not a loony on the road and will help fellow truckers you may get a little flack. Don't pick a handle that is obivious, one I know named her rig, girl chaser, it lasted about 3 months and she changed it, her last rig was called ';Hero's Heart'; She had the picture of the firemen raising the flag at the World Trade Center on her rig. Another gal just retired in May her rig had a map of the middle east and this big dragon frying the map, around the dragons neck was a set of name tags, one had her brothers name the other had the dragon's name Vengeance. She did 25 Army bought her rig the week she came home and did 20 on the road. The first year she had the rig she parked it on the lot of one of our favorite wattering holes. She got someone to take her to her house so she could get her car. When she came back she was driving a VW beatle. Well needless to say we all had a great time about that until she got too greased then she wanted to fight. Well some one got her clamed down but at closing she was not going to give up her keys. She didn't have to much of a problem about her keeping them which I thought was odd. . When we went outside her VW was sitting on her trailer. The gal she was going to fight with had six brothers and the family owned heavy equipment rentals. The same one though had left a message to call in the morning and they would get the car down for her but it was her way of saying you don't want to fight with me. Needless to say she's never lived that one down. I don't know what she is going to do now that she's retired. I bet her and her partner buy a big RV and hit the road. She isn't going to be comfortable anywhere else.


Luck be with you and if you want a companion to ride with you Jack Russell Terriers make great truck dogs and are very protective. Matty's Jack is named Psycho. He'd does a great impression of a mad Tasmaian Devil when ever a guy comes up to the truck.
dont do it
