Lady truck driver: Getting a tyre burst in the middle of the night while alone was my worst experience;
Give us a brief background of who you are: I am Audrey Chepchirchir, 22-years-old, I come from a humble background. I was born and raised in Rift Valley and the firstborn in a family of three.
How did you settle on being a truck driver? At first, I just wanted to have driving skills, so after high school in 2017, I enrolled in a driving school. At the time, my parents had suggested that I start with driving as I think of a course that I would love to get training in. I happened to be among the top three students. Having impressed my teachers, I was given an attachment in the same school and later I applied for a job at a called Master Servant. Luckily, the managers hired me for six months before I got greener pastures elsewhere.
What attracted you to heavy machinery? I wanted to challenge myself. I knew I had the ability but I wanted to confirm it. Moreso, I believed in the saying that what a man can do a woman can do better.
What skills and abilities do you have that make you a good fit for this role? I am good and stay loyal to my employer. Since I became a truck driver, I have never been involved in dirty deals or diverted goods. I have also never been involved in an accident. Interest is also key. I am a performer and I love what I do.
