How Lori Reached Her Milestones

One of Lori’s secrets to her success is her love for communication. This has helped her both as a mentor and when building relationships with fellow drivers. This desire formed at a young age for her through language when learning to speak Norwegian from her parents. Later in life she learned Spanish while traveling, and since then has enjoyed the exposure to diverse cultures and individuals during her trucking career. “I always have a conversation and practice my language skills with people I meet out on the road,” Lori said. “I use that same communication skill when I tell women about the trucking industry!”

Passionate as ever about sharing her experience and encouraging other women to drive trucks, Lori has also personally trained several women drivers as a mentor. “I enjoyed training women on the road so they can be successful,” said Lori. “I always told them, ‘Whatever you do, strive to do it better than anybody!’ I would instill confidence in them. I could see their demeanor change as they realized they could drive the truck. I always enjoyed seeing my students go through that process!”
