THE STORY OF Yo-Yo!

Lesa Worley, known by her CB handle “Yo-Yo", drove a semi for 39 years back and forth across the USA and trucking was her life. Ms. Worley became extremely well respected during her journey, eventually even being invited to participate in a series of Big Rig races. (The promoter thought a woman driver might bring in a few more fans.) Never having raced and being the only lady racer, she was an underdog to say the least. But, not only did she run 110 mph around the track, she won the very first 'Atlanta Motor Speedway Semi Race' in 1979!!

In 2011 Lesa was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. This put an end to the career she loved so much. The disease now taking away the remaining strength in her muscles. Choosing to stay home, cared for by family members, Lesa's story is being told once again.
Lesa Worley is a legend in the world of truckers and trucking. So, when we conceptualized a video for “Hey Delilah”, we wanted someone who could embody the idea of Delilah… a lady not to be messed with. We know YoYo to be that lady. We hope we enlighten many more people to her unique story, as well as bring some attention that could help out with the health and financial situation she’s in, perhaps bring a smile to her face.

California is working on turning the trucking industry upside down. Question is, will they succeed in getting fossil fuel powered trucks off the road, or will the state find itself in a situation where OTR trucks, Diesel Powered Rail, and other transportation sources refuse to enter the state, which will affect their supply chain? Buckle up. It's a changing world.

In the fight to lower greenhouse gases, there are other alternatives available to fleets than simply going electric.
