An 18-year-old girl has become Britain’s youngest
qualified HGV driver.
“Baby Trucker” Jess Stubbs has joined sister Lucy, 24 –
the “Mother Trucker” – and dad Graham in the family
horse bedding business.
She said: “My dad, uncles, cousins and sister are
truckers. It runs right through my family.
“You just have to get used to the driving and once
you’ve cracked it everything’s brilliant.
“For me, it wasn’t always about going to university – it
was about what you enjoy.”
Jess, from Ashbourne, Derbyshire, said although most
truckers are men, more and more women are taking
to the road.
She added: “The best part of the job is never knowing
where you’re going to go – it can be anywhere in the
country.
“One day you’re in Scotland surrounded by breath-
taking views, the next you’re on the south coast.”
