THE self-proclaimed world's hottest truck driver has revealed how she makes £60,000 working just six months a year.
Ashlea, from Perth, Australia, took to TikTok to explain her unusual career that sees her take on early starts and gruelling 12-hour shifts.
Working as a fly-in fly-out (FIFO) driver at the Pilbara Mines in remote Western Australia, her shift pattern is an intensive 14 days on followed by 14 days off.
When she's on the clock, she wakes up at 4am to spend most of her day transporting rubble and heavy goods, but during her two-week breaks she loves to travel and treat herself.
And she certainly can with her salary of AUS$120,000, which is around £60,000.
Despite her job, Ashlea doesn't fit the often unfair stereotype of truck drivers, with her social media revealing her glam style and passion for fitness.
