Women Truckers - Behind the Wheel Since 1897 by Marge Bailey ~ Posted May 2011				NY Blood Ctr Truck Driver Jobs Long Is. City, NY
For quite a few years now Trucking Companies have realized the value of women in their work force and behind the wheel of their big rigs. Until recent years however, many women themselves have not thought of long or short haul truck driving jobs as a viable career choice. Today there are about 200,000 female long haul truck drivers in America. The ATA estimates about 5% of OTR drivers are female. The first female truck driver DRENNAN, LILLIE ELIZABETH MCGEE (1897-1974) turned a lot of heads I'm sure, not because she may have been pretty, but because a lady truck driver was unheard of. Since Lillie delivered freight by truck, many women have followed in her footsteps. There have been thousands of lady drivers take to the big road since Lillie opened that door for women truckers and employers have learned that the addition of females behind the wheel of their big rigs has had a positive effect on their bottom line.

Today more and more women consider a truck driving job traveling across the country as a solo or with a co-driver. Just like their truck driver male counterparts, some women behind the wheel make a career of truck driving. Did you know women truck drivers make the same money as men for the same work? That fact alone has become an attractive draw to truck driving for ladies of all ages and backgrounds. The transportation industry is 2nd only to communications in the largest, most needed services in today's world. In other words, trucking will never go out of business!

Truck Driver Jobs include pulling dry van, flatbed, drop deck, moving van, bull wagon (livestock), frozen foods, vehicles, step deck, doubles, triples, etc.; there is a long list of trailers and variety of freight from which to choose. Most women choose dry van or refrigerated (refer) due to the fact that most dry van and refer companies offer no touch freight or 'lumpers' (load & unload hired laborers).

Not to infer that women can't handle loading and unloading, some can, but due to the requirement that drivers must be able to lift 50 to 100 lbs (it varies from carrier to carrier), many women lack that kind of physical strength. There could be a strength test everyone must pass to get hired by a majority of companies so keep that in mind in making your decision. In fact that should be your first question in a job interview.				Frito-Lay FLEET SERVICE TECH Lynchburg VA area Details
