    She's gorgeous! She doesn't look like a trucker either!

    Go to YouTube. You will find lots of solo female drivers and several husband/wife teams where neither look like your stereotypical trucker.

    You could have sued that school. Some truck drivers are not known for their manners. Some probably don't even know that women can vote now. My instructor also told me I would not make it because my shifting was bad. I ended up getting the highest scores in the class. Also, being "small" is a good thing since most tanking companies run small sleepers and you'll be able to climb the tank ladders just fine.
