When you think of a truck driver it’s easy to imagine a big burly guy wearing a John Deere cap, a cut off plaid button up shirt, some steel-toed boots and a cheek full of Red Man tobacco. That stereotype in mind, it is surprising to see Loretta Bruyeré, Navajo, a petite woman climb out of the driver’s seat from the cab of a twin-trailer freight truck. Bruyeré is not only a petite woman who handles her twin-trailer with ease while breaking stereotypes, but she is the first woman ever to win the title of Grand Champion in the 81-year history of the New Mexico Truck Driving Championships competition. Bruyeré, who is originally from Farmington, NM, became not only the first woman to win overall Grand Champion earlier this year in May, she also won the Twin-Trailer division. |
