I’m the world’s smallest lorry driver at just 4ft 9in – everyone is shocked to see me climb out of the cab
TINY trucker Hayley Hume stands tall in front of her giant lorry.
Hayley, 40, is just 4ft 9in and wears clothes meant for ten-year-olds.
But she drives a 14ft-high, 44-ton, 16-wheel tipper truck delivering sand and gravel to building sites from quarries.
She said: “I love being high up. It’s like being in my own little castle.
“After the crash 15 years ago I wouldn’t go on the motorway for ages.
“My hands would get all clammy when I passed lorries.
“Kyle took me out in his lorry to help me face my fear and I ended up loving it.
“I’m so small everyone is shocked to see a little woman climb out of a lorry. I get a lot of stares but I just laugh it off.
“If you’re a woman going into the industry, don’t let it bother you.”
Guinness World Records is checking if Hayley, of Bakewell, Derbys, is the tiniest HGV driver.
