    Hi! So glad to find this site! It makes me feel "not quite so alone". I have decided to hit the road at the ripe age of 56! On to a new adventure! I drove a KW end dump for 9 years on and off road but am new to tractor trailer. I will be starting a refresher course in a week and am excited and nervous at the same time. Hopefully, if I can 'cut the mustard' I will be another ol lady on the road! I grew up in a trucking company family, my dad owned 30 trucks, so I am familiar with the industry and have been on many road trips but have NEVER been in the drivers seat! I hope I am not too old to pursue this career and am wondering how 'safe" it is for women traveling alone out there! Well, I will have a small Cavalier King Charles Spaniel with me but he is NOT a guard dog! :biggrin_25526:
