Lady Trucker Keeps on Truckin'!
2015-06-23
And just when you think you've been on the road a long time, I've got news for you. Back in
1968, a trucker was featured on the program What's My Line, a popular game show of the time.
After several questions, answers and guesses, none of the celebrity panelists were able to guess
the occupation of Linda Cottrill. Yes, a lady trucker from Massillon, Ohio, stumped the panel.
No one could believe that this diminutive young woman would be piloting a truck.

spin around and get pinned under another truck's trailer.
- Truck Drivers Are
in Demand as Shortfall Swells
2014-11-06
More American goods move by truck than any other mode of transportation, but a growing shortage
of commercial truck drivers has the potential to create a nationwide shipping crisis in the not
so distant future. According to the American Trucking Association (ATA), the trucking industry
is currently short of 30,000 drivers; but that shortfall is expected to swell to 200,000
truckers over the next 10 years.

This can be seen in the fact that, of the 6.8 million people employed in the trucking industry,

Owner Operators

Many truckers new to the business are unaware of organizations that represent their interests.
Some charge a fee for services or membership while others simply work in the interest of their
members. One of the best known of these is the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association,
Inc, also known as OOIDA.
