Women In Trucking Association

"Driving trucks has been in my soul forever and learning to drive tractor trailer truly saved me. I went to driving school at the age of 19 during chemotherapy for stage IV Hodgkin's Disease. It was a great distraction and I learned then that my childhood fascination with trucks was going to change my life. I was always the girl playing with the Tonka dump trucks. Now I get to drive them! Over the years I have driven different commercial vehicles, and I have loved every minute of it. Five years ago, after being a stay at home mom for many years and ready to get back in the work force, I was offered a dump truck driving position. When I came home and told my children about the job offer, I was jumping around like a little kid all excited at the chance to drive again. I take great pride in my job and have many requests and repeat customers. I work for a small, family-run company and love what I do. Having a desk with a view is the best job in the world." - Amy, professional driver for Starnes Clearing and Grading 🚛👏 Thank you for participating in this year's I Heart Trucking® photo contest! 📸 https://hubs.la/Q03025XS0 #WomenInTrucking
