Meet Kodi, 23, who was inspired by her father to get into trucking following a tragic loss in her family. She opened up about what her experience as a truck driver has been like, why she loves it so much and how she wants to inspire other young women to follow their dreams. #MyUnconventionalLife #trucking

    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.

    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.

    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.

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... 😊
