A woman has made truck driving an honorable career choice and gained notoriety in the process. As of Tuesday, December 20, the woman identified as Clarissa Rankin has over 2 million combined followers on TikTok and Instagram.
After completing her studies in criminal justice, Clarissa began working as a teacher, earning N847k a year.
But when her teaching salary was insufficient to maintain her family, she started driving trucks.
When she first began driving trucks, her yearly salary was N22 million. The year she launched her own business, JC Rankins Transport, her income shot up to N64 million.
According to Clarissa, whenever people see her behind the wheel of her enormous vehicle, they are always taken aback.
People always have this mental picture of a truck driver as a man with a huge old belly, a big old beard, and overalls, according to Clarissa in a chat with CNBC.
“I love seeing people’s faces say things like, ‘Can you drive that?'” And I’m thinking, “Yeah, honey, I got this.”
In addition to her truck driving career, she earns an additional N16 million from her nearly two million followers on TikTok.
