She Drives a Truck

                                                                                                                                  
A South Asian immigrant woman breaks tradition by driving a big 18-wheel truck. Gill came to Canada in 2000. Fifteen months after arriving in Canada, she got her license and bought a car. Gill challenged her cousin,passed the exam on the third time,and got a trucker's license. Gill drives the Toronto-Montreal route that takes six to seven hours, but in bad weather it takes up to twelve hour; she sleeps in the cab of the truck for five hours before she drives back to Toronto. Gill supports her family in  Punjab by sending money to them every month. Actually, Gill is a strong woman,and her family is proud of   her.
