1. Truck Driver Training for Women

Women have been truck drivers since big trucks were introduced in the early 1900's. Prior to de-regulation, women often learned to drive big trucks from a male family member or friend. In the past 20 years since the rise of commercial drivers license schools, more people who were not raised in or around the trucking industry have become truck drivers. The rise of "training carrier" fleets places unrelated individuals in isolated situations that have been reported as more problematic for single women. Women that have not experienced the modern day "training carrier" corporate model and women who have entered truck driving as an established couple report different experiences than women who enter truck driving as a single person. This survey seeks to define the differences in the training experience of women who become truck drivers to identify if there is a relationship between training obstacles for women and their relationship status either current or past to truck driving, or as a single person.
