Question

How common is it for females to have jobs driving 18-wheelers?

Answer 1

few, but over the last two years it seems to be increasing slightly. I work at a small motel, and alot of truckers come through here. Slowly but steadly the number of female truckers are increasing.

Answer 2

I don't have the exact numbers but my guess.. not many

Answer 3

It may not be common, but it's not unheard of.  There are also married couples, both licensed, who share the driving of cross-country 18-wheelers.

Answer 4

I've seen one or two. Not many.

Answer 5

Well, Jacki from "Roseanne" drove one.

Answer 6

For most females, probably not very common.  In the feminist community, I imagine it's a surprisingly high percentage.

Answer 7

Not very common but there are some that enjoy being a truck driver.

Answer 8

I would say about 10% are women.
