Dearest Candy. As you mom the hardest part was only seeing you over weekends because your school for the deaf was not close to home. But we did fun things weekends and all the holudays. I am so very proud of you and encourage you all the time. Your video calls photos and messages are my life line. You are my strength. You are my heartbeat. You never gave up. Cause Mom did not give up. Be strong. Be true. Be happy. I pray for you everyday to be safe on the road. I love you so very much and miss you terribly. Very proud of you. God bless until we meet again. Love you forever.

I first ran across Candice at a site she reversed straight onto the dock where I had seen other guys knock of the gate posts and get all crossed up. I was already unloading and didn't realise she was deaf when I said a good job she ignored me I thought a bit rude then one of the guys at the job told me she was deaf. I got around in front of her and gave her the thumbs up and then we kind of got in a conversation and I don't do sign language bit we communicated and both had a laugh. She truly is a top operator. Whenever she came into our yard they would say she was here and everyone gave her courtesy and a great operator. This is cool to see she is getting the recognition.

I used to work with Candice gorgeous but talks too much lol. She does her job and I never had a problem with her. I helped her where I could but she was always appreciative of help. Go Candice.

I'm proud to part of the deaf community but I'm full hearing. I'm here to help anyway I can. The deaf can do any job with the right accommodations.

This is such a powerful story about a strong-will woman who never ever give up her dream being a truck driver I knew Candice from several years ago and it is wonderful to see the courage and assertiveness from her and to send a message to many to work together and make a difference. Great film

As a deaf woman in Australia I love and am inspired by your strength determination and resilience. I too love road trains

You are such an inspiration Candice With your attitude and drive for success in chasing your dreams you will succeed in anything you put your mind to. With all the extra challenges you faced in life and to succeed in the transport industry you pushed through and are now on the road to accomplish your goals and dreams.I am an ex-owner driver and operated a small family-run transport company. When I was looking to hire new drivers I was always looking for people with traits like yours. I tell you now they were very far and few between. I hope your short film opens people's eyes to see people may have disabilities but that doesn't stop them from performing tasks put in front of them. The transport industry needs a lot more people like you. We also need managers of these large companies to start acknowledging people for their skills and efforts instead of just throwing everyone in the same basket.I appreciate and assure others will as well in you showcasing your story with this short film. It may be a short film for now but you will turn it into a full-length movie one day.Great work Candice.

Candice is one of my dearest best friends. We have our own way of communicating and I tried so hard to get her a job where I once worked. But due to the small minded ungrateful persons that couldn't understand the way of a deaf person Candice didn't get her dream job. I take my hat off to her she's one hell of a woman that has guts. I too have mild hearing loss and know what it's like to be put down for being deaf. Keep up the great work Candice love the movie you did and I'm proud to call you my friend. Love you x

Deafness is not contagious it is an invisible disability but the individual is completely normal and should be treated as an equal in every professioncareer they choose to take. Go Candice

I have known Candice for almost 3 years now. I've seen her go through some really trying times. Her positive attitude is what always pulls her through. She is resilient to any situation. Like Lyndal said she's been in situations that break your heart. Candice is an incredible woman. As a female truck driver myself I really look up to Candice as a strong and powerful individual. She's an amazing friend and loves with 100 of her heart.

You are proving that being hearing impaired we have to work harder and better than hearing people on same job as I am also deaf too.

Julie Wise from Relbia Australia posted on 19 Aug 2021 11:26:45 PM
Absolutely amazing. Overcoming being a woman in the Trucking Industry is a major hurdle to do that and be a Deaf Woman takes so much resilience and Strength Candice is a wonder woman. I thank her very much for her attitude to life and sharing her story with us.
