		<description><![CDATA[The American public sees more and more women behind the wheel of a big rig and they must surely think this is a new thing for the women to branch out of the traditional boundaries set for women.

		<description><![CDATA[Most of us who shop do not give it any thought as to how that product got on the shelf.  All we expect is to see the shelves full when we spend our money on the needed items.  Food, clothing, tools anything you want to buy came on a truck. It takes a lot of trucks to keep America going and the shelves filled.  <a href="http://www.truckingtruth.com/trucking_blogs/rjensen1918/2009/04/the-product-has-to-be-made-before-you-can-purchase-it">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Any driver in a semi will either see, or be involved in these types of events with any amount of time behind the wheel. There is often a lack of driving etiquette from the others who share the road with us. Their actions sure make a mess of things at turns, and I will never ever understand why the game of  "chicken" is involved between a car and a big truck. Sometimes our size just freaks them out and they just want to get out of the way! Sometimes they get in the way and don't even know it - at least not at first! <a href="http://www.truckingtruth.com/trucking_blogs/rjensen1918/2009/03/making-turns-in-a-semi-can-be-dangerous-and-comical-too">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
