    You go girl !!!
    I am a Canadian trucker !!!
    To be able to keep going after a roll over is strength ....
    It happens !!!
    How you survive mentally and emotionally is key ...
    I didn’t roll over but had a head on after 21 years of safe driving ...
    A kid was texting !!!
    It rocks you to the core !!!
    And you sound strong ...
    You also are an amazing driver !!!
    Cheers !!!
    No pun intended !!!!
    Keep the shiny side up !!!
    Curtis from Canada ;)

    Hello Claire Strasburg, I for one am proud of what you do. I can't drive anymore because of having several cases of Lupus. I'm in the U.S.A. and you don't see very many females doing the line of work you are doing. You really tor up your truck there didn't you? I did the about the same but a lot worse but I am glad to see you got back in the saddle again. Congrats. my dear friend. BE SAFE

    Amazing to see Female Drivers, in a Male Dominated industry, the need and call for Truckies IN Australia is greater then anything. We do need to see more Woman behind the wheel, to if set the Male Balance, however, as she said, You need to have a passion and love for the job, as the Neigbour next would say, a Truckie for 40 years, and he retired, you need to have a love of driving, open road, and the passion. I hope that she has a long and prosperous journey, she loves her job and that's clear, never give up regardless of the issues ahead. I'm really proud of her.

    Many thanks.

    Can you please leave her alone i believe most of you people comment about her smoke have something worse to your health than her smoke. If she feel good about smoke and driving good for her, she did a good job, we all know no one live for ever. We live in this world full of bad thing around us, but i believe the most important things in life to be happy and do what is right for you when you are alive. We know the Dr told us some food not good for your health but is up to you what you gonna do. That anyone business but this lady do a fantastic job that a lot of people unable to do, that is the things we should talked about.

    I like how they didn't highjack the vid with overemphasis on the difference between woman and men in a men dominated role and all that.this vid was a perfect portrayal of what it's like and what to expect. I just got my MC and I've got a lifetime of learning that's only just begun. That's a huge crash to walk away from and learn from and get back in the truck too, respect. Eating healthy and always getting a good night's sleep will be challenge. Is anyone on RUclips blogging on being health concious as a trucker.we desperately need a culture shift in the industry away from Mrs mc pies and iced coffees. Stretching a important too.
