I may look like it, but I am NOT your average girl next door
Last night, I was treated pretty badly. I don’t think I deserved it, actually I know I didn’t, but I have sat here all day wondering what brought on the behavior that I received last night at my receiver. I had brought produce back to Minnesota from California. It was a normal load that I [...]
Anymore it seems there are more poor drivers on the road than good. I see it everyday, as I’m sure a lot of you do too. More and more I am calling the cops, in hopes that they can stop some of these drivers and either let them know that their poor driving is being [...]
Okay. So I had to pull over just to write this. I have been going to write this, I just have had one of those weeks and not been around the computer much. The comment I made on twitter about taking a nap in an abandoned truck-stop this afternoon made me think “Now is the time”. [...]
My Personal Mechanic Every year it happens. Every year around this time, all you hear when you walk into a truck stop a day or two before CVSA’s annual event is all the chatter going on about the big DOT 72 hour road check…. For my readers who are not truckers I will explain a [...]
Here’s my Friday ride for you. It’s a quick one but the scenery is beautiful! The video is rolling south of Flagstaff Arizona on I-17, the ride is beautiful, but it is a lot of work for both truck and driver. It takes skill to keep the speed of your truck under control on steep [...]
I’m going to start a new page here at One Girl Trucking on Truck-stop facilities. As most drivers know a good truck stop these days can be hard to find. Some of you that are newer to the industry may not know the difference, but if you’ve been out here a while you will remember [...]
A few weeks ago when I was waiting to check in at a produce shed, a younger driver asked me two questions while standing there. The first was where he could get a permit to go into New Mexico. The second was, where are the weigh stations at? I told him most of the bigger [...]
We are all familiar with some of the reasons that the professional truck driver is under attack. Although I see these drivers out on the road too, I want you to know there are more top notch drivers out here than you may think. As a professional driver, I am very proud of what I [...]
First off, I want to thank every one of you for all the kind, thoughtful comments you have made in the last few days on my Alive and Unscathed post. You people are wonderful! I posted “alive and unscathed” for a number of reasons. First, to get it off my chest, I knew if I [...]
This may ramble. At this point I’m so shook up I don’t know if I should shit or go blind, but I want to write this while it’s fresh in my mind, and right now I don’t belong behind the wheel. 20 minutes ago I was going north on HWY 83 in Kansas. I was [...]
