    Hey There Awesome Truckers!

    Just sending a friendly *shout-out* to the men and women of the by-ways and highways!

    Any North Slope Truckers on the forum??

    I'm the daughter of a trucker and just have my permit at the moment. I don't know WHY it took me so long to get my CDL A (I have everything now...gonna take my driving test in March for my license).

    I LOVE everything about semi's! W00T!!

    What is it about us small gals and big trucks? I'm just a wee-one at 5'2", but I lift weights so I'm stronger than I look! LOL:biggrin_2559:

    I live in Fairbanks, Alaska and work on the North Slope in the petroleum industry (near the Bering Sea). I've only driven vac trucks a little with a co-worker but hope to drive more this summer and maybe drive for the Drilling Support Team.

    The first time I drove that 100,000 pound vac truck was one of the BEST day of my life! TRUE STORY!! My respect for veteran professional truck drivers grew exponentially!! YOU GUYS TOTALLY ROCK...I can only hope to gain in the ranks bit by bit.

    I LOVE 18 WHEELERS!!

    A couple of photos from work: I LOVE MY JOB!!

    Welcome to the forum, PinkPedal!!

    I understand about being a lil gal, drawn to the big trucks! (although I'm not so lil, anymore!! LOL)

    All I wanted to do was drive a big truck, and after many years, and different occupations, I finally drove for awhile. Now, I'm a passenger with hubby, but I still love the life-style, and wouldn't trade it for anything!!

    Stay safe, and roll on, lil gal!!

    Thanks, Ms.Judi Kay!

    I appreciate your post a ton! That's neat about you and your husband traveling together. What a great and interesting life! I bet you could write a book, huh??

    I'm still single...but I gotta crush on a fellow truck driver on the slope.

    Heh...

    Thanks, PinkPedal! But the lady I feel should write a book, is a lady goes by Texas-Nana, 'round here.
    You'll get to know her, and then understand.
    There are many, many other ladies here who either travel with S/O, like I do, or are drivers themselves who drive team with their S/O, like Texas-Nana.

    And many others who are stay-at-home wives, GF's, or S/O's of a driver....and THEY could all write some VERY interesting books about the life!

    Just all the way around, there are many, many wonderful folks here, each with unique and interesting things to share. And all willing to help out!! Look forward to getting to know ya, PinkPedal!!
