I’m a female lorry driver – people hate on me for hitting the road in my HGVs but I’d like to see them try to do my job
A FEMALE lorry driver has hit out at trolls who don’t think she’s cut out for the job.
23-year-old Amber passed her Class 1 HGV driving test in November 2022 and has been working the job ever since.
She’s enjoyed life on the road so far as she’s told people in her comments section that she works only days and gets to spend a lot of time with her family.
But it’s not all plain sailing as Amber has her fair share of trolls who’ve made it clear they don’t think she’s right for the role.
She’s received comments like: “Drive safe gurl you know them female drivers,” [sic] and ”don’t crash”.
Others have cruelly said they won’t be using the motorway any longer knowing that a woman is driving an HGV on it.
But Amber pays no attention to the trolls as she regularly shares clips of herself on the delivery run.
In one TikTok video, following her pass, @amberx_99 wrote: “For all those hating, I would love to see you try driving a HGV Artic lorry.”
But not everyone has sent her negative messages about her job as many have been left inspired and have encouraged her to keep going.
“Yes girl!! You absolutely smashed it well done you should be so proud,” one person wrote.
Another said: “Thi is the most gangsta thing ive seen. I flippin rate it.” [sic]
A third shared: “I cannot believe my eyes. This is really good and inspirational for the younger generations.” [sic]
Another asked: “amazing! How long did it take to learn x,” to which she responded: “Depends I did an apprenticeship but if you go private and pay for yourself won’t be long”. [sic]
