    Just like to say Hello to every one, and introduce myself. I am a 51 year young woman, who will enter the trucking industry very soon. I am at a stage in my life that I need a change in careers, and I have had an interest with the trucking industry for a long time. I have read some comments on this website that are interesting, but I would like to hear from the women truckers...the in's and out's, up's and down's from a woman's stand point. Guys, I love yall but I need to know the real deal from a woman's perspective. Don't get me wrong guys, I would greatly appreciate your input as well, for who else but you (guys) who have dominated, and still dominate this field, could give a person like me insight as to what I am about to venture into. Just respond with whatever you know I need to know. Since I am located in the Jackson, MS area, I am considering KLLM...I heard mostly good things about them.

    Here's thanking the ladies and the guys for your advise...Bubble...
