26-year-old trucker: "I dress like Barbie, but I'm my boyfriend among drivers"

Blaze Williams from Australia has been driving semi-trailers and 18-wheel trucks since the age of 19. Bouncers in nightclubs do not believe that her truck driving rights are real, but she loves her job and advises other Australian women to follow her example.

Blaze earned money washing trucks, and she was told to get a license to transport them from place to place: "Before, when I saw them drive up and stop next to me, I was scared, but in the end I really liked driving them. I always liked to be different from others, so it was quite natural to become a female truck driver. I've always dressed a little bit in the Barbie style, but among the drivers I feel like my boyfriend." 

The girl got a job as a trucker a year after she got the right to drive freight transport. She really likes life on the road: "There is much more freedom on the highway than in an office job, and no one is hanging over your desk."

Blaze claims that there is a friendly atmosphere at work and she did not have any problems because of gender.

According to statistics, there are three women per 100 truckers in Australia. At the same time, there is a shortage of truck drivers in the country, so Williams recommends that other girls follow her example.

Williams is also the current national champion in horse riding.
