You’re welcome Whitney. If you love driving, then go for it! Google up some resources for women truckers, or start a facebook page and start connecting with other women truck drivers. It will help you the most to connect with people who understand where you’re coming from and can offer advice and share tips with you.

Thank you! It is something I want to do and I’m proud of my mom I think she just is worried about my safety and probably my feelings too? And I just want you to know this is a great site and I’m so glad I came across it! Again thank you!

Whitney – congrats on your accomplishment. Discrimination is everywhere. Sounds like you just need to build some confidence and then take charge of the situation. My suggestion is that you find a support network to help you – if that is truly what you want to do. If you’re doing it because your mom talked you into it, then maybe the fear isn’t really fear, but an indication that it’s not your cup of tea.

I’m 24 and I got my class A because my mom talked my into getting it. I got it a couple of years ago and honestly I’m scared to use it! Not because I don’t think I can do it but now because my mom thinks I can’t handle it because the men she works with are very…well men! Discrimination has been going on at her place of work since she started there I really want to do it but now I’m scared I just don’t know what to do????

Awesome!!! And the graphic is adorable! I must have some merchandise since I just passed my test today. For anyone who is interested in being a lady trucker, don’t let anything stop you. I was 30+ when I started pursuing my goal after years of jumping jobs. I decided to pursue what I truly desired in life, and I finally passed my CDL test. Anything is possible, so don’t let your gender, age, or anything else be a deterrent. GO FOR IT!!!

Hey Gretchen
I have to laugh at your website here to bring the ladies together! I too am a truck driver and as with Pamela who last wrote in, i drive all over the Greater Toronto Area.
It’s an empowering position to be in as a female! I love driving everyday and i’m totally gonna get that tote bag to bring with me in the truck everyday!!!

This a reply to the gye that wrote about having a girlfriend that understands about being on the road, i too am a truck driver that understands and have had my relationship fail cause of me being on the road. I know that it is hard to find someone that will be there for you either at home for a short time or on the road to make money to bring home. I know you are from England and I live far from you, in Scarborough, Ontario, Canada. If you ever want a friend to talk to give me a ring my ears are open. Email me at pamelafemaletrucker@gmail.com.
