Like this I am a mom now that was a trucker and proud of it will be one day back out in my dream truck doing what I know now that I love. Thanks for the video if I could be out there with the sisterhood of drivers I would in a heartbeat but my kids needing me here and being a bus driver will have to get me through!!!

@4mydadinmo Thanks for the comment... Yep, it sure is hard when you have kids still in school to be out on the road. Glad to know you are still driving ... not sure I could do the school bus thing myself... takes courage! YIKES!

I LOVE what you are doing with your videos!! Every time I get into a discussion about driving I tell people I trust the truckers more than the Class C drivers around me when in traffic. Most truly do not understand a truckers world. From what I am reading in your video, I guess I WAS as easy going as I was told. No preconceptions, no gripes. Why are women drivers always called female, instead of women? You got me hooked on your videos now. Your educated, I always like that.

@whiteribbonman1 Thank You for watching and appreciating these videos. The women truck drivers are diverse and I tend to gravitate toward those who are more laid back and calm rather than those who want to compete with the Men & make excuses for the bad apples. A good man does not compete with a Woman or try to berate her or engage in power trips with her. Women who understand this premise don't waste valuable time & energy playing that game.

Great info and like the way you keep it real!! you have a new number 1 fan... Thanks!

[TruckerDesiree]

@Rickway65 Thanks for watching, The purpose is to help new drivers get a more realistic view of what trucking will be. There are plenty of "Tough Guys & Gals" that can handle the truck... it's the hidden BS that usually derails them for being sucessfull. So that is the mission here... tell it like it is.... be prepared

i wish i could train you 2 i dont think their is any diferance between women and men its all about the trainer allot of these guys see good looking chicks and they try to get in your pants not teach you how to drive thats a big problem

[krazioklown]

She is cute.

@mogges1 Thanks! When a lady writes to me to say she just graduated & is out on her own truck now & these videos helped them. it makes it all worth it..... We got a new breed of women hitting the roads.... I feel good knowing they know a thing or two more about the shady trucking executive part of this industry & what life is really like on the road

[mogges1]

Desiree don't you stop what your doing. for any one.theres a lot of men out there that have a hell of a lot more experience than the both of us..and they will not stand up for this industry.one of the biggest reason the public look so down on the trucking is because of the press.I'am glade to see some one with the guts, to stand up and speak out about the truckingand if I c an be of help let me know
