Girl Power! Watch Lizzy Drive This Insanely Giant Truck
Camp out Hunger is this week and in order to house all of the donations, I was asked if I could drive one of the vehicles to Sam's Club Parking Lot. Of course, I said yes, and was then told it would be a 26 foot U-Haul truck. I was asked if that would be okay? So I said, "I can do anything!" I then politely smiled, walked out the door, and made this video, below.
The largest vehicle I have ever driven is my current Chevrolet Equinox. Listen, ladies, we've gotten a bad rep as far as "doing" anything is concerned historically and we are changing all of that thanks to the help from our past lady heroes, like RBG, all of the Suffragettes, Rosa Parks, etc.
We still have a ways to go but my mother always told me, "You may have been born a woman but you are a human and all humans are equal."
Typically, truck driving has been a male-dominated industry, however, according to Women In Trucking and the Department of Labor there are 3,364.000 truck drivers in the United States, and of those 7.8 percent are women, which means there are 262,392 female drivers!
Trying something for the first time is intimidating however, I dove headfirst into that driver's seat, closed my eyes, and prayed. Then I opened my eyes because driving eyes wide shut is actually illegal. Posted below is an entire behind-the-scenes video that I created for you to be a literal fly on the wall for my big trucker experience.
I have always used humor to triumph over any type of fear that comes my way. I hope to continue to always test myself in ways that I never imagined so that one day I can share with the little ones that no matter what, nothing is impossible if you try your best. No matter if you are a young girl or boy, you're able to do anything, as long as you give it a shot!
In addition, the U-Haul that I delivered to Sams' Club in Augusta for Camp Out Hunger has a sister and they both need to be filled! So if you're planning on donating please come and see us!
