Amy Gladen Company: Woodland Expansion Inc. Years in trucking: 13 Truck: 1986 359 extended hood Peterbilt "I might be a woman driving a logging truck, but I'm no different than anybody else. I'm just doing my job." Amy Gladen comes from a California logging and construction family and always knew she wanted to drive a big rig. This tomboy who is also a girly-girl at heart has a great respect for family and faith and a passionate enthusiasm for life. "You feel like everybody you know in the industry is like family." Lisa McAlpine Company: Owner-operator, Dart Transit Years in trucking: 9 Truck: 2006 Freightliner Columbia "My mom raised me to be a self-sufficient strong-willed woman. And that's what I am." Lisa McAlpine recalls wanting to drive a truck "since I was a little kid standing on the street watching the trucks go by and trying to get them to blow the air horn for me." McAlpine, who didn't start driving until her children were grown, will have her truck paid off this year. She plans to hang on to it because it's been reliable, though she dreams of owning a 379 Pete, having driven one early in her career.
