Work
Women Truckers 23 Apr 2009
Follow Your Dreams

Carla Brady was an accountant whose work was hit by the slow down in the construction industry.  Looking for a change in career, she decided to reinvent herself by swapping her computer spreadsheet for a lorry cab.
Advantage, the company she trained as a truck driver with, say they’re seeing five times as many women coming on to their courses, compared with a few years ago.
Sara Parker joined Carla during her training course to find out how she adapted to her new challenge.
