Greetings! I’ve been following your site for some
time now and finally got the bravery to go ahead and
give you a shout out from Lubbock Texas! Just wanted to mention keep up the fantastic job!
Stumbled upon your company from a driver in my FaceBook group, S.H.E. Trucking. I’m interested in trucking (at age 59) and as a female, I had my doubts and concerns about the role women play in this male-dominated industry. I followed my aunts and became a nurse but only after serving in the military 6 years. i was envious of the girls in the motor pool because they not only fixed the military vehicles, they also drove the big trucks! I am so happy to see that there is really nothing to fear because we are welcomed and cared for by our male constituents. This young lady has a very bright future ahead for herself and her family. They should be so proud of her.
