Summary

 In this episode of Hammer Lane Legends, hosts Brian Merkel, Brian Schipper, and Mike Dre chat with Luanne, a trailblazing female trucker, about her journey through the trucking industry. Luanne candidly shares her experiences as a woman in a male-dominated field, from navigating discrimination and life on the road to overcoming a life-threatening truck fire. She reflects on her transition back into trucking after a hiatus, touching on training challenges, maintaining her CDL, and the evolution of the industry. With stories of resilience, camaraderie, and empowerment, this episode offers a compelling look at the triumphs and trials of life behind the wheel.
