Change a tire ???? Is there one man on here that could change their truck tire?? This is equal pay for an equal day. There are no little fairies gonna fly down and help a Danzel out. Woman or man you climb your ass out the truck and do what you got to do.

I'm not asking for someone to do my job for me, nor am I asking for attitude. I've known men who could change a big tire with no problem and some who couldn't. I don't know of many women who can pick up a tire that large, unless you are a Gunhilda, which I'm not.

A facility where trucking companies operate out of, or their "home base" if you will. A lot of major companies have multiple terminals around the country which usually consist of the main office building, a drop lot for trailers, and sometimes a repair shop and wash facilities.

TruckingTruth was founded by Brett Aquila (that's me!), a 15 year truck driving veteran, in January 2007. After 15 years on the road I wanted to help people understand the trucking industry and everything that came with the career and lifestyle of an over the road trucker. We'll help you make the right choices and prepare for a great start to your trucking career.
Becoming A Truck Driver is a dream we've all pondered at some point in our lives. We've all wondered if the adventure and challenges of life on the open road would suit us better than the ordinary day to day lives we've always known. At TruckingTruth we'll help you decide if trucking is right for you and help you get your career off to a great start.

As a woman driving a truck, I'd like to know what your experiences are in situations like having to change a tire, or other heavy duty emergencies.
Also, what is your favorite or least favorite horror story. I'd like to know how women handle problems on the road that a man would have less trouble with.
