FREEPORT As one of a minority of female truck drivers working in the United States, Angie Rosemeier of Freeport said she has had her share of inappropriate moments on the road. She takes extra precautions when she parks her truck at rest areas, making sure she has things taken care of to hole up safely in her truck at night.
Rosemeier has her dog for protection on the road but felt the need to know more about protecting herself by taking a women s self-defense class from Brian Booth and Devin Mielke, owners of Progressive Fighting Concepts in downtown Freeport.
