Particularly, the story of Lisa Kelly is interesting since she’s an ice-road trucker. This is especially dangerous and difficult to do. Lisa is a women in her 30s and she works as a truck driver for several years. Surely, she’s in love with the roads, but this has its price. Especially when it’s an ice road.

It is not uncommon for ice-road truckers to slide on the road or even break the ice which is seriously dangerous. If this happens, the truck can sink in the water and they are in danger of drowning.

However, she does admit that she used to be called names by her fellow truck drivers. Even though she has several years of experience under her belt, she can’t win their respect most of the time. But, for Lisa Kelly, this is not a problem at all. It is a challenge instead.

Another everyday example of a female trucker is Leah Evans.

She got her CDL around 20 years ago, when she started team driving with her now ex-husband.
