    First off a truckers salary, or pay, has nothing to do with keeping a women pregnant nor barefoot. As I said previously, Barefoot in the winter and pregnant in the summer. In short you take away all her shoes and other foot devices during the winter so she cant venture off, then make sure she is pregnant during the summer so again she wont go venturing off. Does that explain it better?
    And you are again correct, that if women stayed at home then "Again that will put some good old boys to work", your words.
    Have a nice day.

    I can respect your opinion however I do find it rather shallow it's 2013 not 1950 I am not only a woman driver but own a small Fleet which employs whomever man or woman that meets the qualifications I have been noticing women drivers are generally more safety compliant and harder working. There is a place for everyone in this Trucking world none of which deserve to be judged

    I've only been out here for 10 years but frostldy is absolutely correct The only other things I can ad is make sure your familiar with your rig learn how to do minor repairs it may save your tail.

    Point well made wendypett. For me trucking life is for everyone regardless of gender, race, status as long as you qualify for the compliance requirements set and you create a safe environment you're in it.

    All ya'all are 2 funny! I've been married to a driver for 20 years. I was in the truck otr the first 5. The biggest tip is 'Be the best." Drive well. Do your bookwork well. Be polite to others. Be confident. Course I give the same advice to guys too. Biggest trouble on the road is lack of respect. A bit of kindness and grace goes a LONG way towards making life better on the road.

    Lets not make any derogatory comments about a good year as 1950. Those were the good old days, when women knew their place and men appreciated it.

    If you are still interested in getting back in Driving, i would suggest Knight Transportation. You will be put through a complete physical, such as physical ability movements. it's pretty thorough. But also a warning ,if you can only get a 3 month physical card, they won't hire you.
