Well, let's see, my father and my uncle were both truck drivers and they both tried to steer me away from the profession at an early age when I first started becoming fascinated by large vehicles. My father wanted me to become a model, but I was too much of a tom boy to give in to that sort of thing. I joined the Navy during the Viet Nam war and I dispatched tug boats in Charleston, SC. After I left the Navy I became friends with a truck driver who helped me get a class "A" License and the rest is history.
