Profile For Lil

Congratulations on passing your test! Good luck in your new adventures and have fun in the Bronx tomorrow.

Sorry abt my typos, can't type on this phone. :)

Hi Toonces,

I haven't been in a truck yet but I looked at alot of YouTube videos. I wouldn't ask a stranger at a truck stop too see inside of hus/her truck for safety reasons. You could contact a school or trucking company to see if they will let you inside a truck.

When you meet with the judge who overturned it, bring written copies of your conditional job offers. Then you could emphasize to him/her that having the not at fault accident on your MVR is affecting your livelihood. Could you also take a safe driving class? Good luck.

Forgot to add it's funny on the wasp spray. I keep a small boat hornand mini hairspray in my purse. Hairspray hurts the eyes

I read that on the womans forum to use the seatbelt but I'll have to see what a ratchet is. Good point on the tire thumper. When I drove 1000 miles by myself, I kept a hammer in my glove compartment

That's good about TransAm. Between this site and others I've seen alot more women entering the industry now, so that makea me feel better. Any woman who walks past a construction site should be used to catcalls. I've taken a shower at a truck stop when driving a long distance and that didn't bother me. It's the pervert trainers who i dont want. I also think of the woman trucker who was raped by the mechanic who had a key to her truck that scares me.

Kathie O,

Although I don't know if u need a refresher course or not, I want to say that I read in the main forum where someone posted the company he was at had 70 and even 80 year olds. Trucking doesn't seem to have the ageism discrimination that other industries do. I agree with Bryn that 65 is young.

It's great you for a female trainer since I've read they're harder to get. It sounds like your trainer really wants to help you excel. Good luck Tues and please keep us posted.

Hawkeye,

I'm enjoying reading your thread and glad it's going well for you. I hope to drive for Schneider one day, so this gives me a good idea of what to expect.

Your profile name reminds me of one of my favorite old TV shows, Mash.
