Profile For Anastasia M.

I hope you do it! Sounds as if it's in your blood. It is in mine! March, 2014, I went to the local DMV and got the study guide because I wanted to haul crude oil (and I heard about a local company that wanted drivers. "Like YESTERDAY!" was what I was told). So I took all the written tests (I think there were eight) and passed. Got my permit! Then I went to the company and the boss assigned one of his guys to teach me how to drive from square one. I had one-on-one instruction for as long as I needed. Many, many days I drove to the yard and practiced backing the truck up, alley dock parking and parallel parking, until one day I could do it right every time! In October, I went to the local CDL school and did my pre-trip inspection test and road test and passed. The cool thing was I was already looking for work and I had a company just waiting for me to get that license in my hot little hand, so once I got it, I hit the ground running! Anyway, my dad had a heart attack so I had to leave the state for a couple months to take care of him, and my position had been filled when I got back home to Colorado. Needless to say, I've been moping around, wanting to drive. Ever since February. I applied to every trucking company I saw. Nobody would give me a shot because I didn't have OTR experience. Then I got a call a couple of days ago and I went in for an interview. They liked me, so they asked me to come back for a road test. I just did that today and got hired! And this company hauls gasoline and jet fuel! So keep going and don't let anybody tell you you can't! Welcome, KaTow!

Congratulations! I just got hired today by WSI. I'll be hauling gasoline and jet fuel. Everyone said I couldn't do it. They'll be watching my dust! We need more lady truckers. Welcome.
