vicky sanzone has been a long-haul truck driver for nine years. Her father was a trucker, and she often jokes that driving is in her blood. Vicky also used to ride with her truck-driver boyfriend to keep him company. During these trips she decided to get her Class A license; she loved being out on the open road and longed to be behind the wheel instead of in the passenger’s seat.
At Vicky’s invitation I accompanied her on a weeklong route. When I arrived with all my camera equipment, Vicky laughed. “Girl, I can’t believe how much you packed.” After loading the cab, Vicky made sure her cat Simba was curled safely on the bunk, and the three of us headed out.
