      Who cares about her husband, if she even has one, her kids adore her! That's who matters.

    As a kid in the 70s ,I loved trucks , one summer I got to ride with a log truck driver that my dad knew. He told to be ready to go @ 3:00AM, I was up mom made my lunch & I was out by the haul road to the landing.
    Well I got my CDL & been driven for 14 years, drove 4 yrs OTR got good driven experience. I've been off the road ( OTR ) for 10 years. It's a very big responsibillity .I wouldn't change my career for nothing.

    Women rock. I drive 8 axle Dump truck and trailer, side dumps, end dumps, super solo, belly dump, floboys etc in heavy haul construction. Pushing 40 years and staring at my teamster pension next 6 months. Ladies in the field make for some seriously good drivers. Thank you for sharing.

      Very rare woman can hack it. Much respect to the ones that can hang in a very tough, dangerous, and unforgiving industry. Though the grumpy woods bosses are usually a lot nicer to the ladies. I've even seen loader operators get out to help throw wrappers. Always the gentlemen, lol!

    Truck driver's get a BAD RAP for some reason! These are HARD jobs!!! You can't be on any drugs ever, even on your time off, you can't be a general idiot, you have a lot of school work to learn, and it takes years and years of experience to do properly. It's also physically dangerous, especially a log truck job like this video is about, long hours, and you use your brain and body all day. So trucking DOESN'T DESERVE to be treated like, "some idiot crackhead job" because it's definitely not.

    IAMAW Union has been on strike since September 13, 2022, it is now October 3, 2022. Weyerhaeuser doesn't wants to offer new employees retirement benefits and wants to raise all employees cost for Weyerhaeuser medical insurance.
