Shelby was a whole lot of fun to talk to. She is smart, strong, focused, and ready to take on whatever challenge comes her way. She began truck driving three years ago when she dropped out of her classes to start driving semi trucks. Her low key obsession with semi-trucks led a friend of hers to help her recognize that she wasn't happy on the path she was on doing school and to give truck-driving a try. She took truck driving school after geting sponsored by a company, passed all the tests with flying colors, and then hit the road. Three months ago, she started a YouTube channel and it was an immediate hit. One of her videos has garnered more than 2 million views. She's become an icon in truck driving overnight. She's educated and is looking for ways to help others who are getting into the industry to find information about truck driving. She's looking for ways to help others, and now has a website that gives people basic info on how to get started. She's open about the challenges that come with being a woman in the industry. She's open about what she does to overcome the challenges, and she shares her journey. Enjoy our conversation and be sure to subscribe to Feminine Will.
