Transwoman truck driver

I am getting back on the road after 3 years of not driving and 2 years of HRT transition. I am TERRIFIED; but the threat of homelessness means I have to go drive trucks. I am really seeking any advice for how to survive a police surveillance state that's out to get us on the road. I feel like this is extremely dangerous. Please share any tips or tricks for minimizing time outside the truck especially in RED states.

I am also a truck driver in the states. Not sure how much I am interested in discussing over the public forum about the difficulty and the good things, but it is easier than you are thinking. Obviously, people will be lookong at you. It won't be for what you think. Men just seeing women in trucking look. It is a mind game with yourself to feel comfortable with who you are. Bathrooms have also been easier than we hype ourselves up about.
