With a massive following on the video-sharing platform and thousands more on other social media, Nia Shania is up to won everyone’s heart with her personality, road stories, and entertaining trucking content.
While RoadRunna doesn’t stop growing on the internet, a huge part of her audience doesn’t know much about her personal life, how she got where she is, her relationships, her lifestyle, and the business she has built over the years.
So what is going on with RoadRunna when she’s on or off the road? Where is she from, does she have a romantic partner? What led her to start trucking in the first place and? Keep with us to discover the answers and more!
Who is RoadRunna?
Shania Charette, better known as RoadRunna Nia Shania, is a YouTuber and social media influencer whose content is solely focused on trucking. She started sharing her trucking journey through videos in July 2022, when she hit the road for her first trip alone, and has continued to consistently upload similar over-the-road trucking content since then.
While Shania’s content also involves her personal life and travel vlogs, keeping her main focus on producing trucking content has turned her into a well-trusted source of information for those who need advice on how to follow a similar career path, or need inspiration to achieve their trucking dreams just as she has.
As Shania’s content evolved and improved with time, so has her life changed. Throughout her journey, she passed from having a stable apartment in Florida to moving around the country while staying with her semi-truck. She’s also grown a formidable audience through several social media platforms, which has led her to launch her online shop RoadRunnaNia.com, which sells original merchandise.
All in all, it’s been a great trip for Shania on the road.
Net Worth
Given the rapid growth that RoadRunna Nia has had on social media since she began sharing her on-road experiences, it’s understandable that a huge part of her audience wonders how much money she makes, and whether they have a chance of succeeding in the same field.
While it’s unclear what Shania’s net worth is nowadays, she isn’t closed off to sharing information about her finances – she wrote in a social media post from March 2025, that she makes over $10,000 per month, though it’s unclear how much of that comes from trucking and YouTube, since her audience on the latter platform is her biggest, with over 160,000 at the time she shared that post. Shania is also proud of her role in influencing other women to join a male-dominated industry such as trucking.
How Did She Start Trucking?
Though it’s easy to see how far Shania has come from the time she began sharing her trucking beginnings on YouTube, to attracting thousands of people to follow her on social media, it wasn’t an easy or free ride for her.
Shania has been very open about the difficulties that becoming a trucker entails, such as in the video “Q&A | Answering Subscribers Questions”, in which she revealed that she spent around $8,000 on her trucking training school. She also revealed that before that, she’d been working as a bartender in Florida, but yearned for a different occupation and less social work, hence she opted for trucking. The first step towards achieving that goal was to get her Commercial Driving License (CDL) at 22 years old, as she’s since said, that wasn’t the hardest part of the process, but the training that came afterwards.

Regarding her origins, Shania was born in early November 1999 in Maine, USA. Despite living in Florida since her teens, Shania revealed that she didn’t want to live in the Sunshine State anymore after becoming a trucker. That’s why in 2022 she opted to sell all her furniture and stop leasing her old apartment, to get on the road.
Relationships
Questions about RoadRunna Nia’s relationship status aren’t rare, given her massive following and gorgeous appearance, but one thing about her is that she doesn’t shy away from confirming that she’s single.
She tackled this topic in a video from October 2022 in which she admitted that she’d never been in a relationship, and didn’t plan on changing that, despite the ever-growing curiosity from her audience, affirming that she prefers to be in solitude, making it one of the reasons she enjoys being a solo driver. In early 2025, the relationship status on her Facebook is marked as ‘single’, so it’s safe to assume that she hasn’t changed her mind about that topic.
Besides her relationship status, Shania is often asked about the possibility of having an OnlyFans account, though, as she doesn’t have one.
Lifestyle & Rise To Fame
There’s no doing that RoadRunna Nia has become one of the most popular female truck drivers on YouTube. Her growth on the video-sharing platform has been steady and progressive, having accumulated over 16 million views of her videos and over 360,000 likes on TikTok.
While her content hasn’t gone too far away from over-the-road trucking, she doesn’t shy away from showing interesting bits about her daily life, such as her vacations, family visits, and the installation of her semi-truck home accommodations. All of this while being accompanied by Pomsky, her Finnish Lapponian pet dog.
As seen in her social media posts, Shania’s efforts to make it as a trucker have paid off well. Not only has she purchased her own truck, but has also afforded great things in life such as luxury vacations in early 2025, thanks to passing from receiving weekly payments to monthly ones. As she revealed in an Instagram post from that time, it was the first time she’d got to ‘enjoy life’ since starting her over-the-road trucking path three years previously.
Getting there wasn’t an easy path, as it involved missing holidays, and spending little time with her family, something Shania has described as ‘making sacrifices’, to build a better future for herself.
In the end, there’s no denying that RoadRunna Nia has built quite a stable social media presence and a good career at the same time. However, the most important part of it is that she seems to be happy with her accomplishments, and the people she’s helped with it along the way
