Excellent coverage of the true diversity in #Trucking by @alexjlockie at @OverdriveUpdate It is NOT just an industry of old men. Some of the people working the hardest to make the industry better are the women #Truckers.

If you listen to most media tell it, trucking needs rescue. It's a frustrating tough job that can't attract new talent. This group of all female volunteer drivers is proving that most of the time, it's truckers who are rescuing us. overdriveonline.com/overdriv…
