If your image of the average truck driver is a big, burly man, think again. Today, women are present in increasing numbers in trucking jobs. In fact, there are more than 150,000 female truck drivers in the United States alone. Over time, the number of women in truck driving may increase even further. For many reasons, women are recognizing the benefits inherent in truck driving jobs. Like men, they want high pay and job security. Women who choose non-traditional jobs like trucking are often able to garner significantly higher salaries than those with more traditional occupations. Many women also enjoy the independence possible with trucking jobs. Often, the feel of the open road is just icing on the cake.
