Introduction

When I decided to become a truck driver the second time around, I was determined not to give up my feminine qualities in the search for respect and equality in a male dominated profession. This blog will take you through some of the trials and tribulations experienced by truckers as a whole, as well as the specific challenges faced by those of us who want to remain ladylike while living on the road.

For security purposes there will be a 1-2 day delay between real time and posting time of any load or location details. It's never a wise idea to disclose the contents of your trailer and a lady really doesn't need more stalkers than she already has.  So to quote Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman, "I'm a safety girl!" and I won't compromise the safety of myself or my loads for the pursuit of blogdom. Sorry.

With that housekeeping out of the way, here's a little bit about myself:

• I'm 36 years old, female (obviously), almost twice divorced (second one in progress), and far too opinionated for my own good (see previous note re: divorces)
• I'm fairly antisocial, but will talk your ear off if I'm comfortable around you
• I've been a solo driver since November 2012, and recently teamed up with a very good friend to take on longer hauls and get better miles
• I really, REALLY hate bureaucracy
• I love shoes
