Where I am, yes we hire women. Currently we are not hiring, we just hired three new drivers and have two in the wings, for a total of five new hires in the past two weeks. Post an email and I'll contact you. And you need to come up here with all of your endorsements, HM, tanker, doubles/triples. Don't think of coming without them, as you will just be hurting yourselves. And, you better be ready to do some work. The hoses we use daily run about 100 lbs each. That is why I suggested gravel, you sit in the truck and flip a switch, you don't even have to get out. Most women up here are working in that field, and the companies like to hire women because they are normally easier on the equipment than the super truckers we have up here roaming the countryside.
Also look at hauling sand, almost the same gig as gravel, many women doing that up here.
Also, the boyfriend girlfriend thing... Not to be a prude, but that may hurt your chances of getting hired. Married couples are accommodated for up here, but the bf/gf thing I don't know about, most outfits are leery of the potential for drama and other issues that may arise. ND can be a very stressful place to live and work, it is not for everyone. I say that because I don't understand why your bf wants to send you into this meat grinder ahead of him?
