Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I aspired to write since early childhood. My mother loved my writing and saved things I wrote at an early age which she treasured. In the 1990s, while driving a semitruck I learned quite a bit about myself and the world. It was fun and memorable, and I will never forget it. Later I drove a taxicab. Passengers sometimes would ask me if we are on the show Taxicab Confessions. I revealed my trucking experiences and changed the title to Confessions of a Female Truck Driver. Just recently, I became a truck driver again! I am so excited to be back-and maybe I will write a sequel to this book one day. What is it really like driving a truck? It's a complete subculture with its own standards, ethics, and dialect. And it never hurts to have a sense of humor. This is the world of the truck driver through my eyes. "Breaker one-nine. Breaker one-nine. We got a great big convoy and I got your back door. Keep the greasy side down and the shiny side up." That's a big 10-4, good buddy
