Jessica Samko: From New York Truck Driver to Shipping Wars Star

Jessica Samko rose to fame on the sixth season of the reality series Shipping Wars. Born in Amsterdam, New York, on June 1, 1982, she built her reputation behind the wheel of a Volvo 780 before launching her own firm, JMS Transport. Standing 5'8" with blonde hair and brown eyes, Samko earned the nickname “The Road Warrior” by tackling some of the toughest hauling routes in the U.S. She wrapped up seven seasons on Shipping Wars in 2015, proving that women can excel in high-risk, blue-collar roles. Off-screen, Jessica is married to fellow trucker Derek Smith of DMS Cargo & Freight. The couple, who share three pets, keeps their personal life private. Today, her estimated net worth is around $250,000.

Aiming to follow her path, I'd suggest researching industry routes before investing in your own transport company venture.
