10-4 Magazine June 2024

34 10-4 Magazine / June 2024 It is both refreshing and admirable to see a woman enter a sector of the trucking industry. The passion in her art is so cool to see, but even cooler to watch her actually laying lines. Lady Lines Pinstriping, as the name of Brittnea’s company, came to be when she used to be a part of a pinstriping forum where artists would share their work. Someone had commented with “Lady Lines” and it just stuck. Brittnea can be contacted through her Facebook page “Lady Lines Pinstriping” or on her website (www.ladylinespinstriping.com ) by clicking “Request a booking.” She only asks for patience in response times as she has many messages to go through and she works a lot. This has been such a wonderful opportunity to get to know Brittnea on a different level than just business and provide to others a little more about her, her passion for pinstriping, and the grit and grace she has to stand apart from everyone else. Thank you, Brittnea, for the conversations, the inspiration, your time, and the opportunity to tell some of your story. As always, to all the drivers (and non drivers) out there doing the deal, truck safe. n Normally my articles feature an owner and their truck, but different areas of the industry deserve to be highlighted, as well. I found I relate with Brittnea in that we don’t come from trucking backgrounds. There have been roads traveled and less traveled, inevitably leading us to where we are today. Her favorite quote happens to be Proverbs 27:17 – “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” There are a variety of meanings to this if you search on the internet, but if you see Brittnea interacting with others, you see someone who is humble with a willingness to help others, and that is a translation everyone can understand. She also said that if you have a passion for something that you could make a career out of, let it drive you. Don’t be scared to jump and don’t stop chasing that goal. I met Brittnea for the first time at the 2021 Guilty By Association Truck Show (GBATS) in Joplin, MO. I believe this holds true for anyone that has come in contact with her, that she has that warm kind of personality that you are drawn to.
