Women Truckers * Canada - Drive home trucking careers
Free training program aims to help women who experience violence gain self-esteem and economic self-sufficiency
Toronto,ONT,CAN -Inside Toronto, by TAMARA SHEPHARD -Sep 26, 2009: -- Driving trucks is in Michelle Chandler's blood... Since the age of 18, the native Barbadian drove every truck in the fleet of her family's construction business. In fact, she was the only female truck driver on the entire island... In 2004, the positive, high-energy, no-nonsense single mother came to Canada for better educational opportunities for her son, Morgan, now 12... An honours graduate from Humber College's Humber Transportation Training Centre, she earned an "AZ" licence to drive the 'big rigs,' tractor trailers... After 13-hour days doing long hauls throughout the U.S., Chandler shopped her resume door-to-door. Now she's in her second summer driving a shiny, new, red automatic triaxle, hauling sand and stone to construction sites across the GTA for James Dick Construction Ltd. in Bolton, Ont. where she is one of four women drivers... It's not a 9 to 5 job. Often, she hits the sheets by 8:30 p.m. for the 5 a.m. shift... But she loves it... (Photo from ANICE WONG - Women drive home trucking careers.

The centre has partnered with the Community Microskills Development Centre and Rexdale Women's Centre to offer women who have experienced violence a chance to get their 'DZ' licence, in hopes the opportunity will improve their self-esteem and economic self-sufficiency)Labels: womens in trucking

I have been using digger derrick trucks since long. These trucks are excellent for construction services. I personally recommend them.
