Truck Gal a Revving Australian Icon BW

Book excerpt: Make Way for a New Australian Icon Attractive and youthful looking, Kellie Andersen has been beset by unwelcome attention most of her life - resulting in her worst and scariest fears becoming realities. When her mum was disfellowshipped from an extreme religious order, Kellie was just a kid who had a choice - be a devout member of the religious order or leave! With nothing left to her name, she pursued the one thing she knew that would make her happy - driving trucks. In order to enter a heavily maledominated industry, she had to constantly battle her way through on an extremely high physical and mental scale that most would not have been able to bear. Her strong-will and tenacity have even forced her to face an imminent threat on her life. Now with a lifetime of adventures behind her, Kellie Andersen is more than the real deal. With uncompromising focus, she says, she's doing it for women in the transport industry-and that is what's kept her going!
