Atlas Obscura Presents: A Trucker on Seeing the US by Road with Women Who Travel

The Atlas Obscura Podcast

Today we’re bringing  you an episode from our friends at the Women Who Travel podcast. 

Women make up just 7% of truckers in the United States—a number that shows no sign of increasing, even while the industry suffers from a huge shortage of workers. We hear from trucker Desiree Wood, whose job has taken her to 48 states, about the freedom of life on the road, the dangers that herself and women colleagues face, and the joys that come with the occasional return trip home.
