Heather is a veteran Heavy Vehicle Driver and founder of Pilbara Heavy Haulage Girls Group. She got her first job in transport driving trucks in the Pilbara. As a single mother the truck became a home and school for her daughters’ early years. Over the following decades she expanded her experience into many different vehicle combinations and is now a driver trainer.
Heather’s love for helping new drivers, especially women, led her to form the Pilbara Heavy Haulage Girls Group, and to develop a unique in-depth training program. In 2019 she was inducted into the Transport Hall of Fame.
In her podcast Heather talks about the challenges of balancing work with family life. And how a career driving trucks has helped hundreds of women escape domestic violence by empowering them with financial stability and a home.
