Move over Blayze Williams – a new glamour model wants to take your world’s š eš„iest trucker title.
Tattoo pin-up chick Jenn Desmond, who also goes by the nameĀ DollywoodĀ online, said she could give the 26-year-old a run for her money with her work driving heavy rigid dump trucks for the past six years.
The Perth 31-year-old, originally from New Zealand, said she too often got questioned whether she drove big trucks.
She is one of just three female drivers working in her team of 19 in Western Australia, but said there should be more women like her.
‘It’s a shame there isn’t more women when you think there would be,’ she told Daily Mail Australia.

Australian model Blayze Williams (pictured), 26, – who was been dubbed the world’s š eš„iest trucker – claims people never believe her 18-wheeler licence is real
Both females have been driving trucks for years and think they could be š eš„iest in the world
‘I get asked if they’re actually big trucks.
‘I love it – I wouldn’t have done it so long if I didn’t.
‘I takes a certain kind of personality to sit in a truck for 12 hours and it can get boring so you have to be able to entertain yourself.’
Ms Desmond was Miss Tattoo Australia runner-up last year andĀ Girls of Ink Perth runner-up 2016, and has won a string of other titles.

Ms Desmond said she loves anything with an engine, often posing seductively on motorbikes.
Meanwhile, Ms Williams made headlines last week when she was dubbed the world’s š eš„iest trucker, saying people never believe her 18-wheeler licence is real.
The blonde semi-trailer driverĀ has made inroads in the trucking industry ever since she found herself in the driver’s seat of a heavy goods vehicle by chance seven years ago.
Now Blayze ā who claims nightclub bouncers frequently don’t believe her truck licence is legitimate ā is breaking down barriers in the heavily male-dominated industry by calling on more women to follow her example.

Adelaide-based Blayze said: ‘I’m always being told I’m “not your average” truckie.
‘Some people, like nightclub bouncers, don’t always believe me.’
Blayze said she fell into the industry after she was cleaning trucks for work and was told she needed a licence ‘to move them around’.
‘When I used to see them pull up beside me I was scared, but I found I really enjoyed driving them,’ she said.

‘I’ve always liked to be different, so being a female truck driver just came naturally. I’ve always dressed like a bit of a Barbie, but I feel like one of the boys.’
Blayze – who is also a current national champion horse-rider – bagged her first job as a trucker one year after first getting behind the wheel.
And despite not fitting the trucker stereotype, she quickly found she had a taste for the perks of life on the road.
Studies have shown women make up as few as three in every 100 Australian truck drivers.
But Blayze claims she hasn’t had much trouble driving through gender-based obstacles, and said it is actually a welcoming environment to work in.

There is currently a national shortage of truck drivers in Australia and Blayze said more women should consider the profession as a career.
She added: ‘There’s a lot more freedom to the highway than an office job, and no one is hovering over your desk.
‘You do have to have a tough skin. A lot of the boys can be a bit crude, so it’s not the right place for you if you’re easily offended, but I actually haven’t come across many creeps in my career.
‘More girls should give it a chance. The hours can be long, but there is great money to be made and it’s a lot of fun.’
