    Well, it's gratifying to see that truckers in the US have just the same challenges as we do over here in Britain. Tight loading bays, badly parked cars etc. Not as cold here, though! You're working hard girl, and doing a great job. Really enjoyed your video, subscribed, and looking forward to more. The footage of 'mainstream' America is really interesting, so please keep it real.

      Hehe. At 21 I moved from Mama's house to rent with my brother in town. At 22 I got my CDL and logged ~60K miles in 6 months driving the usual OTR routes. At 23 I quit driving, moved back to Mama's, and returned to my previous job. A sellout? Nah. Life is better here. Easier if I'm lazy, lasting effects if I'm not. If you've got a family, stick with 'em. Buy a motorcycle if you want adventure, but stay away from trucks.

    A tip for climbing in and out of trl is close LH door and use it to grab onto to climb up and down . Jumping out trl you,ll regret it when you get older, no good if you got injured.

    Your videos are excellent. Very informative. I'm thinking about going to truck driving school and take up this life. About 20 years ago I met a woman who was a truck driver. She seemed to really like it. Ever since I've always thought, well, if she could do it, so can I. It is very helpful watching your videos and seeing what life is like on the road. I would definitely bring a dog with me, too. :D
