Being a trucker for the last 20 years I'm Glad to see this young lady is actually showing the kinda crap we all go through everyday, having said this I hope this inspires the younger generation of men and women to drive.

I stopped in a rest area maybe two years ago and it was at night, A double bottom FEDEX truck pulled in and a tiny blond got out and I am thinking it was you. I was so proud of you being able to handle a rig like that. Love seeing lady drivers.
I love watching other careers other people do I have no means of being a truck driver but it's still cool to watch and not knocking it at all I bet it takes a tough person to do it and be away from the family for so long. Definitely deserve our respect. God bless our truckers!

These tired truckers need to stop pontificating their purported expertise and start showing what it actually looks like. This is really well done.

@@joshuajay2886 nah man.. Think about it your girl makes good money and you manage her.. Be her manager and control the income thats what a G would do.
I run north East and live in tri state. Ever out this way hit me up, it’s crazy out here and people suck. Stay safe. FYI New York City lies about the clearance by a foot
Why do you make the most miserable job look so fun lol? I was over the road for the last 3 years and I hated my life, I'm now a local driver, and I'm loving the quality of life.
Straight up. Did in for 4 years straight, stayed out 6-8 weeks, had 7 days off then back at it. Now I'm local, tons of experience and will never do OTR unless I have literally no other choice. In the end I can say that OTR allowed me to make a decent living but it still sucked ass.
Marwan Saleh I get what you saying brother but on the road I love it because I hate the world. Nothing like the open road and views with chill music playing in the background. We all just have our own interest, you know?
I’m a driver and I own and run my company, got my son into it he became a dispatcher bought him a truck and he’s growing and I’m growing, I do 2-3 trips a month I’m trying to buy a truck to run logbook manual, I think it’s ok.
Arizona Ranger why you judging though? Based off of looks? Tbh it’s wrong to judge people in general... I’m sure you wouldn’t want people judging you based off your looks.
Arizona Ranger driving trucks is a big responsibility and it’s harder than you perceive it to be... not just that, without people with CDL’s or Class A licenses, we wouldn’t be able to live efficiently...
My father has been a truck driver for many, many years. It's great to see more women working in a very male-dominated industry. I wish you safe miles and am looking forward to the videos to come.
I so agree & most of them handle the truck better than I do 😂‼️ I love seeing more women in the industry & I hope they soon dominate & help advance it Too dope !
13'-6" could end up being only 13'-2 (or less). Cities/towns have been known to pave roads without milling and sometimes forget to update the clearance posted on the signs.
@stoopid Mistakes can happen when humans are involved. More likely to happen on a local road, than on a big city or state highway project. If nobody pays attention, updating a sign could get missed.
As a person who drove trucks for five years, I’ll be honest, if I saw her pulling up at a truck stop and seeing her getting out of the truck, I’d be like “Oh shit, wow!”
A tip for climbing in and out of trl is close LH door and use it to grab onto to climb up and down . Jumping out trl you,ll regret it when you get older, no good if you got injured.
I really enjoyed this video.This young lady has courage presence, great attitude, personality, chutzpa! Going through all the ups and downs of life on the road. This job is incredibly tough and yet very rewarding and even addictive. She did an excellent job conveying that.
I miss this life soooooo much!! My husband and I did it as a team OTR for 2 years before we got pregnant lol. We are thinking on going back when our baby is a little older
I have just subscribed to your videos. My father was a truck driver until he died this past November. Several times I went with him out on the road, a month at a time, so watching your videos kind of takes me back to when we were together on the road. You have a good spirit about you young lady. Keep up the good work and may God always keep you safe.
At first I was like wow this could be a cool job. Then I remembered that I can’t even back up a lil trailer hooked up to my pickup truck. Think I’ll stick to my current job. Cool channel tho, subscribed!
Hehe. At 21 I moved from Mama's house to rent with my brother in town. At 22 I got my CDL and logged ~60K miles in 6 months driving the usual OTR routes. At 23 I quit driving, moved back to Mama's, and returned to my previous job. A sellout? Nah. Life is better here. Easier if I'm lazy, lasting effects if I'm not. If you've got a family, stick with 'em. Buy a motorcycle if you want adventure, but stay away from trucks.
Bwaaa ha ha ha Too funny! Great comment! However, don’t compare yourself. Life happens with or without us. I’m jealous. I’m also jealous you live with your momma. My father died from cancer and my mom moved away. Enjoy your time with family, it’s all we really have.
@@gregt722 I want to do something in my life is what I was implying. Being with parents is great no doubt, just feel like a parasite tho. Sorry to hear about your loss... Take care of yourself brother.
This is the cutest thing ever!. Love the footage of you and your dog playing. You seem like a really sweet soul! ❤ it's so nice to see other women driving and being themselves!
Love this. I used to install cable 20 years ago when I was 19. So many women would say oh I thought of a Strapping Young Lad was gonna come install my cable. Lol I was like nope just me as I’m carrying a 30 foot ladder and climbing up the telephone pole. 🙌🙌🙌🙌😂😂😂 Such a fun job, when it wasn’t snowing or cold. Lol 😂 ❤️😍❤️😍
That happens to all of us when there's a wall on either side. Just a heads up make sure you latch the door back in case it catches the wall and gets ripped off.
glad to see a female truck driver we definitely need more of you in the industry dont listen to the people on the cb and keep the rubber side down and put the pedal to the metal and keep on trucking
To gain entrance into the trl just to put up load locks or to sweep it out. Keep the trl left door closed. You can use that for leverage as you climb out using the 3 point contact.

I was worried about wanting to drive trucks but you are inspiring! Things like this make me proud to be a woman
Currently laid up in bed with covid having to quarantine from the rest of the world and going crazy! Thanks so much for posting your travels. As a truck/dog lover this is really helping me get through🙂
that sucks. Curious - how do you feel?
You good bro?
Hope you're doing better.
It started during round 2 for me. When I got out, made a bee line for the gathering to personally thank Truckers, for my bought freedom.
My uncle told me the best years of his life was when he used to work as a truck driver. Good for you to show this line of job to younger generations
Literally the best 19 minutes I’ve spent lately. SO GOOD.
Thank you 😊
I'm going to start CDL class on Monday and this makes me so excited for it! I have 2 Dobermans and ill be taking one at a time during my routes! 🥰
👏👏👏
Good luck gorgeous
Good luck!
Yeah be safe out there lots of crazies and perverts! 👍🏾👸🏾
How did you do!?!? Did you pass?
so awesome seeing her jog with her dog, that's what i would need to do, ugh!
as a straight female that is confident with their sexuality i can firmly say that this is stupidly attractive
KristineeeCA so you’re saying if you and her are both the last females on earth and she was down with it and you were somewhat down with it. You would.....
Hug her like a man would hug a woman?
@ManyProphets OneMessage Actually, I'm just straight, but thanks for your boring comment.
@David Freer I don't think you have the right to speak for everyone, but if that's what helps you sleep at night (:
Justbrowsing4lunch Women will find any excuse to be gay
@ManyProphets OneMessage Damn bro you're really out here pushing some kind of agenda. Why are you trying so hard lmao
This is so cool . Showing us non truckers what it’s all about and everything that goes into it
My father was a long hauler when I was a child & I use to go with him in the summers. I miss those trips. RIP Pops! Oh and in case you haven't been told before you're a beautiful women & with your ability to drive a big rig it makes you even more beautiful. Drive safe!
I'm a driver. I ran Albyz for 12 yrs. This lady is awesome. Ain't nothing easy about dedicated grocery. You go girl!!!
She’s driving a semi and I can’t even turn my Chevy sonic without scratching the brand new wheels against the curb. 💀
Get it together.
I felt this lmao
Ive seen it too many times🤷♂️
That’s just called awareness honey
Hollie Roscoe 🤣🤣🤣
OMG I love this! I work in claims at McLane & totally get it! We love & appreciate our Carriers so very much & will fight tooth & nail to help/support them! Please keep these videos coming & truck safely Shelby!
she's so cute and always happy..
Wow girl I drive a truck and my dad. Did for 38 yrs .. I admire you and respect you .. you are only a few.. a real woman .. awesome job and love the sheapard .. I had my boy always with me.. he passed in October of last yr... You go girl .. keep up the awesome job .. be safe ..
How did this even come across my feeds?! Well I’m already invested 😂.
I have been a truck driver for nearly two years and I'm still trying to get use to men and other people being impressed. 😅
BRITTANI HEUSZEL agree! how can you drive while bleeding for a week straight
People are just surprised but also glad at to see it
BRITTANI HEUSZEL isn’t that what women are asking for ? For equality? Lol Everyone seems to be impressed that a woman is driving, but shouldn’t they just be treated the same as a man driving ?
@@TKUA11 No, because men and women are different.
As long as your impressed.
Much respect for this lady for working hard and not just creating an onlyfans account where she posts her photos naked for weirdos
Dude fr tho
What
Whats wrong with a woman doing that? Its easy money from creeps
@@cody-gk4bx everything
@@joshuajay2886 nah man.. Think about it your girl makes good money and you manage her.. Be her manager and control the income thats what a G would do.
I run north East and live in tri state. Ever out this way hit me up, it’s crazy out here and people suck. Stay safe. FYI New York City lies about the clearance by a foot
Why do you make the most miserable job look so fun lol? I was over the road for the last 3 years and I hated my life, I'm now a local driver, and I'm loving the quality of life.
Straight up. Did in for 4 years straight, stayed out 6-8 weeks, had 7 days off then back at it. Now I'm local, tons of experience and will never do OTR unless I have literally no other choice. In the end I can say that OTR allowed me to make a decent living but it still sucked ass.
@@andrew5689 whats the difference from over the road vs local? still both jobs driving 18 wheelers? thanks!
Keith Hodge I’m pretty sure it’s because you get to go home every day driving local vs being in your truck 24/7
Marwan Saleh I get what you saying brother but on the road I love it because I hate the world. Nothing like the open road and views with chill music playing in the background. We all just have our own interest, you know?
I’m a driver and I own and run my company, got my son into it he became a dispatcher bought him a truck and he’s growing and I’m growing, I do 2-3 trips a month I’m trying to buy a truck to run logbook manual, I think it’s ok.
She’s a badass, this is awesome!
J W obviously if she has her CDL she obviously has more knowledge than you... 😂 why you so salty? Why you so judgmental?!
Arizona Ranger why you judging though? Based off of looks? Tbh it’s wrong to judge people in general... I’m sure you wouldn’t want people judging you based off your looks.
Arizona Ranger driving trucks is a big responsibility and it’s harder than you perceive it to be... not just that, without people with CDL’s or Class A licenses, we wouldn’t be able to live efficiently...
mad respect for her, im a soldier and im doing what she does everyday and its really hard
Shout-out to trucking companies. They hire former military will less hurdles and higher starting pay.
you people are heroes
God bless soldiers and truckers. Our freedom is valuable. Thank you!
Shelby, you are amazing! Energy, creativity, honesty, transparency… I could go on!
My father has been a truck driver for many, many years. It's great to see more women working in a very male-dominated industry. I wish you safe miles and am looking forward to the videos to come.
I so agree & most of them handle the truck better than I do 😂‼️
I love seeing more women in the industry & I hope they soon dominate & help advance it
Too dope !
Needs to stay male dominated
my mom been driving for 44 yrs locally and self employee. She is 66 and still drives
Lol she won't last a year I guarantee it.
Why?
Camera person deserves some good ass credit for these amazing shots!!! Had my eyes glistenin over those!!
Thank you :)
@@socal87border did u pipe
You’re such a badass! I dispatch trucks and whenever I get female driver on my load i’m so excited!
Keep on truckin’ girl.
her ass is bad?
Dick Monolithik bruh
@Dick Monolithik what the fuck is wrong with you? If you need to get laid go for a lot lizard already
So u dispatchers play favorites and give the best loads to who u like the best?
@@nonam3s473 I sure as hell would.
the subtitles of the dog!!! Love this!! Thanks for making me smile!
Well done for keeping the US running. Great to see another female trucker, best wishes from a trucker from the UK.
13'-6" could end up being only 13'-2 (or less). Cities/towns have been known to pave roads without milling and sometimes forget to update the clearance posted on the signs.
Zukes Rubicon Hmmmm
Yep the sign was put up in 1967 and the road has been resurfaced 6 times since then.
@stoopid Mistakes can happen when humans are involved. More likely to happen on a local road, than on a big city or state highway project. If nobody pays attention, updating a sign could get missed.
I think that is cool how you put speech bubbles in for Kota. Good work on the videos.
I love those!
So great to be watching you again. Actually you are very relaxing to watch. Thanks for sharing and stay safe out there and well❤
My brother my dad and my spouse are truck drivers.. Guess who’s motivated me to be a truck driver my dad and YOU 😭😭😂😂🤗
Im scared and I do have kids
Isaiah The most funny thing is to I want to be a police officer as well.
Don't do it unless it's your passion or just need money lol, it's not worth being away from your kids. Life will pass you up out here.
@Isaiah I actually read what you posted right after I left my comment lol
Omg awesome good luck andngirl power! I bet you'd be badasss!!!
Running into her at a truck stop is probably the same experience someone has as seeing a double rainbow for the first time
As a person who drove trucks for five years, I’ll be honest, if I saw her pulling up at a truck stop and seeing her getting out of the truck, I’d be like “Oh shit, wow!”
Oh yeah a double rainbow followed by swamp ass.
A tip for climbing in and out of trl is close LH door and use it to grab onto to climb up and down . Jumping out trl you,ll regret it when you get older, no good if you got injured.
Bruce Rogers hey when you get old and out of shape you get a fold up 3 step stool
& it fits behind the drivers seat !
The instructor's at my school will stress that.
I really enjoyed this video.This young lady has courage presence, great attitude, personality, chutzpa! Going through all the ups and downs of life on the road. This job is incredibly tough and yet very rewarding and even addictive. She did an excellent job conveying that.
I honestly don’t miss those kind of deliveries with a reefer until. Im a flatbed driver now
She makes it look so easy and cute lol, you go girl 👏🏾
I miss this life soooooo much!! My husband and I did it as a team OTR for 2 years before we got pregnant lol. We are thinking on going back when our baby is a little older
angelica montero if you don’t mind my asking, what are you two doing now? Driving locally or no?
I have just subscribed to your videos. My father was a truck driver until he died this past November. Several times I went with him out on the road, a month at a time, so watching your videos kind of takes me back to when we were together on the road. You have a good spirit about you young lady. Keep up the good work and may God always keep you safe.
It's nice to see other fit people in this profession!It makes things alot easier!
Reminds me of ice road truckers and I love this UA-cam version
Your video editing and filmography make this feel so much like a Discovery or TLC series. Well done
I LOVE that you have your dog with you!
At first I was like wow this could be a cool job. Then I remembered that I can’t even back up a lil trailer hooked up to my pickup truck. Think I’ll stick to my current job. Cool channel tho, subscribed!
Cat King lmaoo im positive she put alot of blood sweat and tears into getting this good but i feel u lol
It’s worth it in the end tho with that +$70,000 check a year
Experience is key m8. Every trucker starting out will cost a company a lot of money. Will take like 6 months before you are really comforable imo.
Honestly a lot of times I think it’s easier to back up a large trailer than a small one
BROLY well I do make well over that already. But the travel aspect of trucking is super cool
The cameraman, the editing, the dog, a female driving a truck. All of these makes me wanna go on a trip with you. Keep up the good work.
This woman is awesome by all means! Expert and passionate about the work she does.
Me? I'm 26 yr old and still live in Mama's house. 😂😂
Hehe. At 21 I moved from Mama's house to rent with my brother in town. At 22 I got my CDL and logged ~60K miles in 6 months driving the usual OTR routes. At 23 I quit driving, moved back to Mama's, and returned to my previous job. A sellout? Nah. Life is better here. Easier if I'm lazy, lasting effects if I'm not. If you've got a family, stick with 'em. Buy a motorcycle if you want adventure, but stay away from trucks.
@@cdgstuff7512 cool dude, thanks for the free advice
You are funny!
Bwaaa ha ha ha Too funny! Great comment! However, don’t compare yourself. Life happens with or without us. I’m jealous. I’m also jealous you live with your momma. My father died from cancer and my mom moved away. Enjoy your time with family, it’s all we really have.
@@gregt722 I want to do something in my life is what I was implying. Being with parents is great no doubt, just feel like a parasite tho. Sorry to hear about your loss... Take care of yourself brother.
This is what you do when u play American Truck Simulator since when you are 1yr old.. She is dope. Hats off mann..
This is the cutest thing ever!. Love the footage of you and your dog playing. You seem like a really sweet soul! ❤ it's so nice to see other women driving and being themselves!
Love this. I used to install cable 20 years ago when I was 19. So many women would say oh I thought of a Strapping Young Lad was gonna come install my cable. Lol I was like nope just me as I’m carrying a 30 foot ladder and climbing up the telephone pole. 🙌🙌🙌🙌😂😂😂 Such a fun job, when it wasn’t snowing or cold. Lol 😂 ❤️😍❤️😍
That happens to all of us when there's a wall on either side. Just a heads up make sure you latch the door back in case it catches the wall and gets ripped off.
I’ve been a truck driver for 30 years. You make it look like lots of fun. Stay safe
Invest in e-tracks so you can strap, so much easier than load locks
This reminds me of riding around with my dad in his truck when I was younger! Can you do a truck tour?
glad to see a female truck driver we definitely need more of you in the industry dont listen to the people on the cb and keep the rubber side down and put the pedal to the metal and keep on trucking
Respect to all truck drivers all over the world, thank you
Fed-Ex person who delivers my packages never looks like you :(
Lol she's a freight delivery
That is true she is a fright
@Ubal_Blunt good looking women are more pleasing to my eye...
I am prefers looking at men lmao
I have worked my whole adult life in logistics or distribution centres and never see nice women truck drivers, maybe 1 or 2 ever.
I love seeing other female truckers. I pull doubles with my husband team.
U R a real superwoman, i'm truck driver and i'm really respect U super lady , god bless U 😍
To gain entrance into the trl just to put up load locks or to sweep it out. Keep the trl left door closed. You can use that for leverage as you climb out using the 3 point contact.
Girl! you're living the best days of your life, love your videos!
I feel like driving in the USA is a lot more relaxing and nice then in Europe. Love the montage!
I rather drive on Europe than Mexico :v
I'll rather drive here my Actros in mountain area in Switzerland than move to US to drive that piece of crap every day.
Bigger roads
She’s makes trucking look hot lol like I wanna be a truck driver now. I miss going on the road with my dad as a kid
Do it. Why don't you/haven't you started driving yet?
Nothing hot about that job ask any long term trucker
Kristina Lampkin you can do it!
@@hobens1 I saw her in a FedEx uniform. I bet her pay is hot.
Kristina Lampkin It's not hot, trust me.. long ass hours and dealing with other drivers driving like idiots. Then you got the weather conditions🙄
Truckers keep the country moving, don't forget that😊
