[@natashahubbert4438]

Omg, sis. I’m 44 years old and decided this is my next career move. Age never really stopped me from doing anything before, but in the back of my mind that small voice was saying … “damn you’re old to be starting yet another career.”😆 Still doing it though. Thanks for sharing your comment.

[@blessoneable]

Beautiful. There are many beautiful women in the trucking industry. Even my self I started out in 2002 . Still trucking. I applaud all professional women truckers. God be with us all.😊

[@LovelyBri]

My only regret is that I didn’t do it in my early 20s. Go girl!

[@uluvzame]

as long as you pick it up and do it there are no regrets, no age factor, no limits! you can do anything as long as you put your mind to it.

[@aslysa2277]

There is no age requirement or physical requirement for trucking long as you can sit and drive a truck and do basic physical menial tasks anyone can be a trucker!

I'm 45 & I'm about to do it! I been on KZbin doing some research, if you are able to do it.. do it! I have so many regrets,. from my younger year. I decided no more for the rest of my life

Congratulations to you baby girl. We have 4 daughters and a son and they’ve all been trucking with me. We’ll be praying for you, also just always remember to watch your surroundings, we have a lot of haters in our industry. Look into car hauling come and join our car hauling family.

I remember those days when I started trucking I was 23 years old just like her dressed nice looked good. people thought I wasn't a truck driver and plus I remember the motivation like she has I remember I used to have .

how did it go for you? were you in the industry many years?

Love her positivity and hope her story can inspire many more youngsters to come into the business.

[@cafeparlay4907]

I’m studying for my permit just browsing all the trucking videos 😂. Love this one though 👏🏾💪🏽🫶🏽

[@YellinHelenP]

I always wanted to be a truck driver and at age 55 decided to look on KZbin to find inspiration! You could probably make money giving women who are looking for a career in trucking a true truck-life experience. Take em' on the road for a few day haul and show them the ropes. Women power! There really is good money to be made and I also feel very peaceful when driving long distances. It is peaceful.

[@klinbenison4638]

You are so beautiful, I wish I know how to drive truck, I would love to teach you 😊

[@thisspacenotforrent]

She needs a youtube channel as she could make money just talking while she visits different communities, plus with trucking being automated eventually it would help with long term savings...

[@johndesimone5052]

She is one amazing woman! This definitely made me smile.

[@bold-and-saved2846]

You really inspired me very much. I’m also a Truck Driver at 52 …. Thank you TRUCKING QUEEN 👑

[@edmunger5595]

Your Mama is right, we do need more dedicated women to become truck drivers, I spent 42 years chasing that dotted line and met a lot of nice drivers and the Industry could use a lot more driving like Kodi, stay safe young lady.

[@classicsoapfan]

my dad drove a truck for 17 years. I went with him about 9 times starting with a trip after high school graduation in 1997 and last trip was 2001. I loved it. I miss him driving. saw some women driving trucks. my favorite show was ice road truckers. I loved watching Lisa Kelley on there. she put up with guys saying she didn't need to be driving but she never let it stop her.

[@terrymorgan9975]

Glad you shared this,you will inspire young women,keep on trucking

[@jamesmiller4596]

What a sweetheart! Breaking hearts as well. Need more and more women drivers out there.

[@amoses11]

This makes me glad to know that there are women of all ages out here in trucking and are killin it better then us men. I have nieces three of which are teens and I hope at least one of them will decide to follow in my footsteps and become a trucker one day. Keep doing ya thing Ms Lady and looking just as good as the money you are making in trucking!

[@U.B.T.]

That's so awesome to start so young, and it helps a lot when you know people already in the industry who can answer any delima questions. I used to get those same "you're a driver" questions alot too, as with flirts. But I had absolutely no interest in dating a driver, and never had! But it was nice to see the country as a solo driver, and now I don't have to worry about getting lost... 😊
