competing with 10 other female
truckers was the online camara-
derie found among the other
contestants. Maggie Stone, last
year's winner of Overdrive's Most
Beautiful, offered support and
advice. "I mostly just encour-
aged her to hold her head high
and enjoy the honor," Stone
says. "The haters are going to
hate. Nothing you can do about
that.
"Weymouth is a strong,
tough trucker," says Stone.
"Most women in the business
are in good physical shape. You
have to be."
Weymouth believes more
women would consider truck-
ing if they had the confidence
to step up to the challenge.
"When someone asks me if
they should go into trucking,
I tell them 'Do it!' " she says.
"Don't think twice. The only
person who can hold you
back is yourself. And if you
do it, be excited about it and
have fun."
Sometimes Weymouth trades 18 wheels
for two – on a motorcycle or a dirt bike.
Shooting is one of the outdoor activi-
ties Weymouth enjoys.
