Short of BE CAREFUL?? Well lets see- one of my dearest firend is a td- she has been one for the past 4 years. From the stories she has said is to watch your pay (some companies still arent into equal pay for equal work), lock up your cab if you are sleeping in it at night. Keep your cell phone charged. Keep accurate records. Whenever you can, have a passenger. Dont pick up walkers. Dont try to overdo it just to prove the guy drivers wrong. I say this because too many times as women we have to ';prove'; ourselves if employed in a mans environment. Just be yourself, take plenty of pictures and keep accurate logs. Keep in touch with family and firends so they know where you are!!!
Trust your gut too- if something doesnt feel right- it isnt!!!
Good luck and congrats!!Advice for new female long haul truck driver.?
