A Young Woman's Perspective on Driving a Semi

Sara, It's great to see a post from you... We all kind of figured you were busy as all get out and would update us when you could. Taking on a 10 hour day and then a family is hard, but it will all be worth it once your out and doing what You wanted to do.

I'm glad you are learning so much. Just keep your possitive attitude and you will go very far. You still seem very up beat and that is awesome. Hopfully you will remain this way and love the open road once you get out there.

As for the companies you have listed; have you thought about Schneider or Con-way? I hear both companies are very good for drivers starting out and both of them run a lot of freight through your area. You might be able to get home most weekends with either of these two companies.

Anyway, I wish you the best and please keep us updated. I know I come on here almost daily to see if you've updated and I also check your blog. I look forward to reading about your adventures...

Take care!

 

Take it from this old man that's been around trucls for 50 years. You're doin' great girl !!! Go For It !!!!!!!

The way you work at it you're the type that other female drivers will look up to for encouragement to do the same.

 

Sara, your enthusiasm, excitement and positive attitude come right through the computer screen! Keep it up and you will do just fine.

 

This is awesome - love the attitude and excitement.. Nothing but the best of luck to you Sara..

 

I am so Happy and Excited for you. It is making me relive my experience when I went to school. The trucks looked enormous and very intimidating but once behind the wheel it seemed normal.

Anyways, good luck on your next week of school.
