Simmons grew up around trucks. Her father, a truck driver, for a time operated his own company, John Simmons Haulage, which followed in the footsteps of his own father's firm, John C Simmons Haulage. "If I had been a boy, I would have been called John," jokes Jess. So she was exposed to commercial vehicles at an early age, and, handy with tools, she developed an interest in how the vehicles worked and operated. Having witnessed first-hand the stresses and strains of driving, she focused instead on maintenance. That originally manifested in a desire to work on construction plant and machinery, but a week's work placement at Mercedes-Benz dealer Mertrux, organised by a careers fair at her school, changed her mind. |
