You go girl !!! I am a Canadian trucker !!! To be able to keep going after a roll over is strength .... It happens !!! How you survive mentally and emotionally is key ... I didn’t roll over but had a head on after 21 years of safe driving ... A kid was texting !!! It rocks you to the core !!! And you sound strong ... You also are an amazing driver !!! Cheers !!! No pun intended !!!! Keep the shiny side up !!! Curtis from Canada ;)

[@markaylott1780]

As a mere male tranportolagist, I have nothing but the highest respect for woman who chose to "do the miles" KEEP ON TRUCKIN'

[@GregKauff]

Hello Claire Strasburg, I for one am proud of what you do. I can't drive anymore because of having several cases of Lupus. I'm in the U.S.A. and you don't see very many females doing the line of work you are doing. You really tor up your truck there didn't you? I did the about the same but a lot worse but I am glad to see you got back in the saddle again. Congrats. my dear friend. BE SAFE

[@jeffreykerle7878]

I drove livestock for her grandfather back in the mid 1980's. she was just a little girl then.

[@DavidSmith-tn9qq]

Takes a lot of courage to come into a male dominated industry and start learning how to drive a truck with all the pressure and stress it can be and hang in. Big Respect

[@va7ras]

Go girl go! Any job is a good job when it involves adventure & outdoors! Been at mine for 46 years and love it still!

[@laurell2796]

I thoroughly enjoyed this footage and am proud of this Lady's achievement...Just watching Claire Strasburg has helped build my confidence :-)

[@robthelog223]

Laurel L If ya wanna see a "real" Aussie truckin' shiela , chouckout " Toots, Thora Holzheimer ". Ha ha maybe she's her mum.

[@JoeWilsonKolb]

Your story is quite amazing! Thank you.

[@scarlottunderwood2128]

Amazing to see Female Drivers, in a Male Dominated industry, the need and call for Truckies IN Australia is greater then anything. We do need to see more Woman behind the wheel, to if set the Male Balance, however, as she said, You need to have a passion and love for the job, as the Neigbour next would say, a Truckie for 40 years, and he retired, you need to have a love of driving, open road, and the passion. I hope that she has a long and prosperous journey, she loves her job and that's clear, never give up regardless of the issues ahead. I'm really proud of her.

[@jordanbowey4175]

Why would you need to even the scales....best person for the job, no matter the gender.

[@LaZaritasjourney]

'KEEP-ON-A-ROCKING-N-A-ROLLING' ; -) Female truckie! ; -D' You are inspiring! ;-0 I'm not a female truckie, but a female bus driver operator and having fun doing it! Thnx!

[@RomanVideos1]

Respect to all truck drivers out there!

[@belfast479]

Excellent attitude and I love the work ethic. If you love what you do, it's not work.

[@owling9chill]

Interesting vid...... wish it were longer, would like to have seen more of this story.

[@jameshunt6851]

Well done need more people like you and good luck ...🤗

[@alhajbouchialgeria9826]

Well she looks like a jewel on that KW beast (beauty and the beast). I admire that bravery. Thanks for sharing.

[@moparchallenger749]

You go girl! I did find it funny that when it showed the dash of her western star,she had black tape in the same spots as mine in Canada Small world,keep on truckin!

[@robthelog223]

Kevin Grazier Mine too, but I use high performance red tape!

[@matthewschiebout9081]

I drove out into the Yukon from Alaska every week with fuel, definitely put a tape on an idiot light or two. Not having much daylight for part of the year made me want to keep my dash as dim as possible.

[@tahseenUtube]

a lady of courage and passion, thumbs up for you, keep up the pace

[@dah8683]

As a male truck driver, I think it's sensational to see women behind the wheel as well. Keep on trucking ma'am

[@kanukster]

The only reason she was featured was because she was a female. Her only claim to fame...she destroyed a truck. She has zero business being featured here.

[@moz763]

I admire you,not everyone can pull triples.You are awesome.

[@colinjones5209]

Nice Chick, natural husky voice and doing a great job. Brave as well returning after that accident, wiser and also smarter. Genuine Aussie.

[@deanbutlin4763]

We are all equal and free to do anything we have a passion for. To all the haters try getting off ya arse that may be a good place to start instead of hanging unnecessary personal attacks on people that have more motivation than you will ever have. Dream belive create succeed. Good job Claire keep on truckin!!!.

[@kunty666]

Keep on truckin love and keep it up right thumbs up here.

[@Scoot8428]

She keeps smoking like she does, there's no way she will make it. When your voice is shot from smoking its, time to quit lol.

More the better

[@ra6378]

I like how they didn't highjack the vid with overemphasis on the difference between woman and men in a men dominated role and all that.this vid was a perfect portrayal of what it's like and what to expect. I just got my MC and I've got a lifetime of learning that's only just begun. That's a huge crash to walk away from and learn from and get back in the truck too, respect. Eating healthy and always getting a good night's sleep will be challenge. Is anyone on KZbin blogging on being health concious as a trucker.we desperately need a culture shift in the industry away from Mrs mc pies and iced coffees. Stretching a important too.

[@Wedget]

What a shame a lot of the comments are negative about this beautiful lady's voice and/or smoking problems blah fucking blah, ignore the wowsers and keep on trucking mate and hopefully we pass each other on the road some day, keep living your dream👍👍

[@78wesley]

awesome doco

[@toutainafe1153]

Can you please leave her alone i believe most of you people comment about her smoke have something worse to your health than her smoke. If she feel good about smoke and driving good for her, she did a good job, we all know no one live for ever. We live in this world full of bad thing around us, but i believe the most important things in life to be happy and do what is right for you when you are alive. We know the Dr told us some food not good for your health but is up to you what you gonna do. That anyone business but this lady do a fantastic job that a lot of people unable to do, that is the things we should talked about.

[@danielwebb9306]

You keep going I have a lot of respect for women truck driver's keep up the great job an be safe

[@BlessedVeteranAdventures]

Amen I hope y'all out there be safe. Don't pay any mind to negativity. Have a Great Veterans Day weekend. Have A Blessed Day

[@petecrabtree8746]

I have been a truck driver for thirty years now in the UK, Not had a better job,You are your own boss when you are out on the road,Have had a couple of other jobs when younger, Coal face worker, Engineering, But nothing as good as Trucking, Good on ya ,Sheila, Keep it up.

[@Tom-ku5kd]

To hell with people that say a woman can't do what a man does cause a woman can. Its amazing to see a woman truck driver I am from New York in the United States and we don't see much around here where I live so its good to see it

[@jeffryblackmon4846]

I think it's great that you're trucking, although I could think of more pleasant cargo to haul. I used to pull tank trailers, handling the loads was a bit more pleasant.

[@aubreysequeira2297]

I really salute the female truckies for their hard work using these giant machines. I have a question: While having the air conditioner on while having to sleep in the cabin for long hours, do they require to keep the engine running, or is there an alternative to run the air conditioner? Many thanks.

[@andrewholt325]

Good on you, give it your best shot as long as you are happy and you can always learn more each day you do you job ok.

[@IGNSkillz]

Quit smoking.

[@casualpersonontheweb]

LAMFO XD

[@mr.surfer6089]

kyle chojnowski and coke

[@brandoncaldwell95]

@Bold Deere Cant blame it on smoking. It may not have helped but the issues where already there. It was amplified by smoking. My parents have been smoking since before their parents were a that shine in their grandfathers eye. They do not have health issues and still continue to smoke till this day. In fact, the doctor advises them to do not stop smoking to keep their health.

[@jimb6117]

Sounds about right also smoker's get way less cold and flu's due to most virus's dying in the lung's in the tar trap.

Not a trucker, but pretty sure that massive beast of a truck & trailer combination can’t tell the gender of the hands on the steering wheel🙂 Good luck and keep on trucking!

[@LMNT-oi9ki]

none of these ppl that leave ignorant comments even know what it's like to drive rigs..let alone haul any kind of trl. super Bs of fuel all i got balls for. and that's outta Calgary,AB all over B.C. Canada. This chick hauls probably 3to4 53ft trls average for road trains. any of you think u can even hang with her.. hahaha. whole different beast in Australia.Hey gal...u keep ur head high gal.. coming from a guy that really does drive mountains. I know what it takes to haul heavy..and doubles . do this in the snow every year. Respect to all of you truckers over there.

[@diddlebug7241]

I'm glad you enjoy driving I've been driving for 8 1/2 years and am desperately looking for a way out of this dead end, low paying occupation. I have no personal life and hate my job.

[@nztrucker1542]

You must be in wrong company cause here in nz it's normal to be on 70-120k a year before tax as a driver and in Aussie I've got family on 150+

[@derkhedemann5606]

I like it. a trucker's life is not a job, but a way of life

[@TB-zj4sp]

it's a hard life and most women wouldn't do it. but the women that do keep your head up and remember their are other women out there beside you. i live in my truck. no home time. i am buying my truck.

[@dcassidy2955]

Why are the air intacts set up so high? Surely she would never venture into water that deep as intact of air would be the least of her worries. Aussie land trains are just amazing, no matter who is driving!

[@romarizkov]

01:45-01:46 - there is a strange brush above the wheel that touched it. For what it?

[@mengeleber]

To remove static charge. It's a grounding method via the tires

[@kingsly892]

Luan Luoajohnsson the brush is to supress water spray from the tyres in wet weather. Only needed if the gap between guard and wheel is over a certain measurement. Was a requirement on B-doubles

[@robthelog223]

[@mengeleber]

[@Darkdemonoflite]

anti smoking.. meaning he quit and got a sponsership

Trade the cig's for a pocket full of hard candy. Worked for me 21 years ago, and still tobacco free. You'll be surprised how much easier it is to keep your eye's open, not fighting sleep. Thirty days of sugar rush and you'll be done with the nicotine cravings.

I don't see female drivers any different than male drivers. The task of driving is the same. A female has arms and legs like males. At this very moment, a female truck driver did a better job off set backing into a spot beside my truck. I am giving her a thumbs up and you as well.

[@shoominati23]

Because youve got to pull the air higher than the dust cloud from the vehicles ahead of you. And especially when you are following other rigs on the dusty outback highways they will kick up a big rooster tail of dust. Don't want that going straight through your turbo. Some people reverse them.
