Thank you freebird.I was looking for an introduce yourself forum but did'nt see it.Well lets see,im from South Dakota,I drive for a small company.The pay is'nt the greatest but the people and the company outweighs the pay.They're far better then any of these big carriers.I'm at a truckstop now on my way to Dallas for tomorrow delivery.Thank god for the lap top,LOL.I registered here a week ago but could'nt post anything,I kept getting a message saying I don't have access to that page.Finally someone activated my account.I like this forum.I also have a pet her name is Cindy.She's my little co pilot,LOL.I post info on my profile about me along with a recent pic of myself.

Wow! Talk about persistence! Congratulations on being able to find work! In these hard economic times, finding anything would have to be an absolute pleasure! The fact that you're following you're following in your dad's footsteps is admirable. I too am a female truck driver. I haven't gotten on the roads officially yet, but it's been something I've been wanting to do for the longest time. I absolutely love to travel and I love seeing all sorts of new sights.

Hopefully, I can make some phone calls as well and have the same type of luck. Then again, it's safe to say that YOU created your own luck. Congrats! Hope you enjoy the travelin' life.

Congrats to all you ladies on getting into the profession. It's a long lonely road, but after a few years, things get much much easier for you. Just remember to steer clear of the Buffets LOL

[kimmy]

Thank you steel horse.I've been doing this 8 yrs now.I get home once a month sometimes I stay out longer.Once you get the exp,get to know the games the companies like to play on the drivers as well as all the laws ect ect ,it does get easier.It's like second nature to me.As far as the buffets go,I hate truckstop food.Rather starve then eat at a boring stale ts.
