Lora Andela, true to her name, is 5'3" and corrals bulls and other livestock and hauls them back and forth around the country. Aligned with New York's history she is of Dutch descent, and was raised in upstate New York near Cooperstown. Homeschooled by her parents she got into college and soon realized maybe this wasn't the path for her and trucking got into her mind. Her story is a fascinating one from hauling a milk tanker, meeting her boyfriend organically and not through a social media app, to now doing one of the toughest and most essential jobs in the freight industry.
The lesson in her story is to always make sure you teach yourself how to teach yourself, and to not let the distractions of the world or the validation of others stop you from doing whatever you want
