161: Heather Jones raised her daughters in a truck in remote WA

from Motherland Australia · host Stephanie Trethewey

When WA mum Heather Jones finished school, she wanted to be a motorcycle stunt woman, but a bike accident put the brakes on that dream.  She got married at 21, had two children and a step child, before a difficult divorce in the 90's left her to raise her daughters alone.  But for the self-professed tomboy- trucks saved her. An offer to drive big rigs for a transport company changed everything. For 7 years, Heather raised her two young girls in a truck on the road, travelling around the country. Heather now runs her own company from the Pilbara that trains women and men to drive road trains all over Australia. This is her story.Merry People are the only pair of boots you need.
