    That letter gets posted every few years. I think it started about 1985. But it's a great story.

    You know, as a woman who was entering this industry, I had read a lot of bad things about it. I really had to weigh my desire to become a trucker with the hassels faced by female truckers.
    I was prepared for the bad and ugly side of trucking... but, it actually for me has not been bad. In fact I went from having only 2 older brothers, 1 in Omaha and 1 in MNPLS to having several across the nation.
    There are a lot of great guys and gals out there..... And we should always remember that and be thankful for them.
