With her background as a financial analyst, Akosua said she thought hard about the advice from her friend and decided to venture into the haulage industry.
Speaking on the Daily Hustle GH show on SVTV Africa YouTube channel, the young lady said she was trained for close to a year, learning on the job as an attaché of another female truck driver.
She stated that although she was warned about the risks involved in the truck driving profession, she was still determined to follow her passion.
Akosua, who holds an HND and a bachelor's degree from Kumasi Technical University, said she has been driving for one year, and three months since she completed her training.
"I was motivated by a friend in the US, who told me that truck driving is a good career that I could venture into and so I should learn it," she stated.
Having been on the road as a tanker driver, transporting petroleum products to fuel stations across Ghana for over a year, the young Ghanaian lady said her newly found job pays more than she ever earned in her former profession.
"Truck driving is very lucrative and I would advise the youth to venture into it," Akosua said.
