“It hasn’t been easy being a female in this male industry” says Heather Jones, female trucking boss and owner of Success Transport.

Heather spoke last year at the AELC Entrepreneurs Club and told her inspiring story of the trials and challenges of being a woman in a man’s industry and how she overcame all sorts of difficulties and prejudices to set up Success Transport.
