“Getting my CDL was the best thing I ever did for myself.”

In 2012, Jenny decided to follow her dream to become a truck driver. She enrolled in truck driving school at a local community college, which provided her with an affordable option to obtain her CDL. Making the career change was an easy decision for her. “It was a career that didn’t require years of college.” She chose to haul chemicals as her first job, since a specialty would provide her with greater opportunities down the road. Her first day driving an actual truck was on her 26th birthday, which made her birthday an extra special day that year. After completing her eight-week program, she became a professional driver. She spent the first four years of her career as an over-the-road driver. First hauling chemicals and then moving onto munitions and government freight; finally making the transition to hauling fuel locally for the past six years. Tanker was her first job and she has always enjoyed it most, but over the years she has gained flatbed and van experience too. <a href="https://truckingfwd.medium.com/getting-my-cdl-was-the-best-thing-i-ever-did-for-myself-4dcc9df4a386">Read More</a>
