Really enjoyed reading these women’s stories. What stood out to me was how different their paths into the industry were, yet each one found a way to turn what could have been just a job into a real career. Carrie’s description of the demands of carhauling especially shows how much skill, physical work, and attention to safety goes into the job—things most people never see from the highway. It’s also encouraging to see women talking openly about the challenges they’ve faced while making it clear that there is a place for them in trucking, rail, pipeline, and other traditionally male-dominated industries.
