Trucking Q&A: Advice For New Female Drivers, Struggles In The Beginning Of Trucking, Etc.

[@queenpbabyy]

More female advice: Be AWARE of your surroundings especially at night! Carry Mace With You & Have a gallon water bottle with you with a car funnel (one you use for filling oil in car and that will fit hole ok bottle) just in case you’re somewhere with no restroom! Everyone is not your friend, be mindful that ppl are harmful these days and to move with caution!

A 44 oz cup come in handy when you need to use the bathroom quickly 😅

[@Debbie-se2re]

Thank you for your video. I watched to the end. I agree safety is most important.

[@sunflowerthegoddess1737]

Do these companies have online message boards or Facebook groups . For the people who don't have that friend mentor . Like you had . To reach out to for tips , advice , suggestions and or guidance ??? 💡🤔

[@sevan8350]

Has anything dangerous ever happened you you! Has anyone ever tried to attack you?

[@AnomalyArcana]

I was homeless for 7 months I lived in a tent and all those hygiene hacks are so important to make you feel human. No one ever knew I lived in a tent and I worked and fixed my situation. I really feel it made me more resilient for trucking and was a disguised blessing.

[@kermitt1959]

I got my Ls in 2019 and no lie I went trough so much crazy ass scare calls haha…taking exits too quick, lost, ended up in lil dirt roads, went on mud thinking I could pass it, weird ass small streets, made a right turn and failed to pay attention to my tail so I smashed up a pick up truck…but honestly I Fukken love it! Best thing that has ever happened in my life, needless to mention the opportunities like one day becoming a owner operator and it’s so relaxing once u get the hang of it , and shake off that lil fear, I ride with my foot on the dash watching Netflix and KZbin all shift haha… I started driving otr from cali to new York but now I’m here local ,…I do 4 10 hour shifts and off 3 days …get to come home everyday and knock of my gym workout…man I could only imagine as a couple how much both partners will make together as owner oops , THE GOAL

[@linamarie84]

It sounds like you're a very unsafe irresponsible driver. Why would you tell people you drive watching Netflix? Smashing in to Trucks and not paying attention? I get mistakes but man why put that out there.

[@terrybangley2281]

One thing is certain, truck drivers have gotten a lot more prettier then when I was driving , be safe

[@royalgoddess3284]

Im taking in all your advice its really been on my mind alot lately to become a truck driver. My struggle was the safety of being a beautiful female on the road alone. I was thinking if I can atleast bring my dog. Idk im just weighing my thinking. I really wanna do it. Seeing female truckers I've really became inspired.

[@natashahubbert4438]

@@captaincori9469 there’s pros and cons as with any job. Thankfully I’m on a dedicated route so I reset at home. It can get depressing, but I keep reminding myself of my goals and what I want to accomplish. Listening to books is my go to! I’m also going to be meal prepping for the week on the reset at home. But I love it for the most part! Couldn’t imagine having a “normal” office job again

[@Semistang]

Shoutout to the female drivers!

[@journeywithjasmine_]

This is dope to watch and hear. Ive been considering my CDL's. I just love working jobs that aren't normal lol and give me new experiences and flexibility, while making LOTS of money. I currently drive for amazon flex and Walmart spark. Lots of miles, decent pay but it's repetitive, im bored. Also in school for my master's of social work. Thank you for the motivational video

[@queenjadebella]

You made me more excited..I’m going for my CDL A start class on Monday and yes its full of guys but watching you and my dad he’s a truck driver as well I know I got this just hope it’s not that hard as people make it seem..I just don’t see women doing this so I was kind of nervous but I GOT THIS

[@queen_k8444]

Hey 👋🏾 enjoyed the video. Very informative. I’m presently studying to get my CDL permit. What advice do you have for me considering I’ve never been inside an 18 wheeler before. My concerns once starting CDL school is that I may not catch on. (I.e. manual shifting, backing maneuvers, and the road test).

[@patrickharris4331]

That's what i like about you you are a go getter keep getting that money babygirl.

[@deanhibbert4949]

I love your energy

[@nikktaylor1078]

I’m struggling with my road test I try to stay calm I messed up on offset then I parallel in the box and took a risk and did another pull up to straighten out my truck and the examiner failed me I’m a little discouraged right now queen😢

[@queenpbabyy]

Don’t give up! Sometimes it just takes another try.

[@marie3321]

I came out of being an aircraft mechanic but im just done, this was so helpful and i think the previous work gives me an excellent gain to moving into trucking. Ive done bus training before and im an excellent deiver overall IMO, all these tips from females is super helpful! Ty. Also QUESTION- is bathrooms a big issue? Ive read all the tips from women, what do you find being most challenging being OTR?

[@timothyb3121]

So if you’re talking about using wipes to wash your face and a water bottle to brush your teeth, does that mean you don’t always have access to a bathroom?

I used to bring wipes, my tampons, and I used to change them when needed and also have a separate bag in the truck for disposal when I had to change inside truck. Always had water, soap, and that time of the month rags just in case I couldn’t make it to a shower until the morning!
