    Ive heard we have a female trainer but dont know if it true or an urban legend. Ive seen another TMC driver on the other side of traffic in passing that looked like a female. A couple months ago I saw a trainer showing a girl in her late 20's or so how to secure a load of shingles. She looked too young to be his wife yet worked like she wasnt his daughter. I think she was probably a female trainee.

    All I can tell you is this.

    There are many females who do whatever it is to do in trucking. Flatbed? Certainly. It might be a little rarer here and there or more common over yonder.

    But I can tell you that Gender means nothing in trucking, anyone can do flatbedding when taught right.

    When we go out and we see flatbeds go by, we eyeball everything end to end, tarps, strap, chain, binder etc. If it is pretty and wrapped good and secured good, that means that is a professional in that tractor. Sometimes that happens to be a female.

    I think I say enough. This is a encouragement. If you like this work go get em.

    He means sticking it out with tmc through training and then released on your own. You have a rrally good opportunity with tmc, if you become a trainer after a year or 2, your income could see a significant jump
