Ep. 91 // Women in Trucking: Julie & Brenda on Stories, Stereotypes, and Success

Though women comprise just 14%* of the truck driver workforce, many find fulfillment and success behind the wheel – including Julie Chamblin and Brenda Davis. These ladies love their work and willingly take on challenges as they come! They first met at Nussbaum when Julie became Brenda’s trainer, and have since formed a close friendship.

In today’s episode, Saige, Julie, & Brenda chat about getting into the industry, managing life in the truck, navigating the truck stops, and using your support group. They also address some common stereotypes about women in trucking.
