Omg, sis. I’m 44 years old and decided this is my next career move. Age never really stopped me from doing anything before, but in the back of my mind that small voice was saying … “damn you’re old to be starting yet another career.”😆 Still doing it though. Thanks for sharing your comment.
My only regret is that I didn’t do it in my early 20s. Go girl!

as long as you pick it up and do it there are no regrets, no age factor, no limits! you can do anything as long as you put your mind to it.

There is no age requirement or physical requirement for trucking long as you can sit and drive a truck and do basic physical menial tasks anyone can be a trucker!

Congratulations to you baby girl. We have 4 daughters and a son and they’ve all been trucking with me. We’ll be praying for you, also just always remember to watch your surroundings, we have a lot of haters in our industry. Look into car hauling come and join our car hauling family.
Your brother would have been so Proud to see you in this light
Sorry for your loss, I wish you nothing but the best and don't let no one stop you from your passion. Keep trucking baby girl cuz I support you. We need more women in the industry.
Love her positivity and hope her story can inspire many more youngsters to come into the business.
Girl I’m 53!! Licensed therapist! Love to drive!! Thinking about making a transition!! I love the freedom of OTR!!! Keep being an inspiration!!! To others! God Bless!! 😎
I remember those days when I started trucking I was 23 years old just like her dressed nice looked good. people thought I wasn't a truck driver and plus I remember the motivation like she has I remember I used to have .

I’m studying for my permit just browsing all the trucking videos 😂. Love this one though 👏🏾💪🏽🫶🏽
I always wanted to be a truck driver and at age 55 decided to look on KZread to find inspiration! You could probably make money giving women who are looking for a career in trucking a true truck-life experience. Take em' on the road for a few day haul and show them the ropes. Women power! There really is good money to be made and I also feel very peaceful when driving long distances. It is peaceful.

You are so beautiful, I wish I know how to drive truck, I would love to teach you 😊
She is one amazing woman! This definitely made me smile.
You really inspired me very much. I’m also a Truck Driver at 52 …. Thank you TRUCKING QUEEN 👑
Your Mama is right, we do need more dedicated women to become truck drivers, I spent 42 years chasing that dotted line and met a lot of nice drivers and the Industry could use a lot more driving like Kodi, stay safe young lady.
What a sweetheart! Breaking hearts as well. Need more and more women drivers out there.
She needs a youtube channel as she could make money just talking while she visits different communities, plus with trucking being automated eventually it would help with long term savings...
She is gorgeous, looks like a model not a driver.
Beautiful story of a beautiful young lady! ❤ Go for it, you can do it 💪
I’m 24 currently getting my CDL and this was so comforting. Good job 👏 I’ll be out there with you soon

Continue doing you and be safe on the roads!
my dad drove a truck for 17 years. I went with him about 9 times starting with a trip after high school graduation in 1997 and last trip was 2001. I loved it. I miss him driving. saw some women driving trucks. my favorite show was ice road truckers. I loved watching Lisa Kelley on there. she put up with guys saying she didn't need to be driving but she never let it stop her.
Lord, please continue to watch over our sisters! Amen
Keep on trucking Ms. Kodiak 💙👍
This makes me glad to know that there are women of all ages out here in trucking and are killin it better then us men. I have nieces three of which are teens and I hope at least one of them will decide to follow in my footsteps and become a trucker one day. Keep doing ya thing Ms Lady and looking just as good as the money you are making in trucking!
I would be suprised if she was doing fuel, foodservice, or heavy hauling..It's super common now to see women driving trucks at this point... Keep grindin and keep climbing💪🏾💪🏾

Hi Ella

Wonderful to see more lady's involved, I to am a truck driver, not only us men where meant for this but women also, congrats for hanging in there keep head up stay striving, we are family on the road
Keep up the great work young lady. May you find all your dreams on the road.
AWESOMENESS!!! Stay focused and keep doing your thing Queen!
I love this! I'm going for My CDL this fall and this inspired me so much more
Great one. Just do whatever you do to survive and feel accomplished. It's way better than being stuck with a job you don't love
You are an awesome young lady and I know that your parents are absolutely proud of you. Just like you my brother and my mom passed away and and I felt boxed In and depressed until I discovered a career in truck driving. Now a sense of freedom has come over me since I hit the road five years ago.
Loving this, keep doing what you do ❤❤
Great story! You are inspiration to a younger generation to do this type of work. There are so many opportunities!!! All the best !!
Great accomplishment! You are very positive and inspiring. Keep up the great work!
She’s so beautiful!! Always proud of a working girl!!! Good for you girl!!!
Yeah same thing for me, when my dad passed in 2021 i went for it. I thought about it for a long time before that but that was my push. Great video. Keep doing your thing
Good luck and stay safe out there!!
That's so awesome to start so young, and it helps a lot when you know people already in the industry who can answer any delima questions. I used to get those same "you're a driver" questions alot too, as with flirts. But I had absolutely no interest in dating a driver, and never had! But it was nice to see the country as a solo driver, and now I don't have to worry about getting lost... 😊
Love your story! Keep doing your thing queen 🥰
Keep on Trucking, Bless this Lovely Young Lady.❤
An inspiration to all of us.Positive mindset.Congrets!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Heyy there 😊 I'm also 23 began at 19 big respect to you doing such serious job stay humbled sending only positive vibes 💯safe on roads 🙏🙏
Keep it positive,be safe and keep grinding!🙏🙏🙏🎉 don't let anyone or anything dictate your life's dream.proud of you,young lady trucker.
Keep praying and keep the wheels turning & watch out for BS TALKERS & STAY STRONG
