    Long windedness to tell a simple story, scared of an angry boss, offended by dick jokes... I'd say it's a chick.

    The OP says that the last job was a straight truck driving job and I believe that they definitely need to list that especially for a nine months job.

    I had to list every job I had in the last 10 years even if they were not driving job for the job I have I assume that is standard operating procedure for a DOT job.

    Hmmmmmm.....

    Dick jokes and sexual preference and any jokes about sexuality are absolutely without question inappropriate in a workplace you don't have to be a female to know this.

    Says the guy whose profile quote "and this one time at band camp" references a scene in a movie of a girl talking about sticking a flute up her snatch lol.

    This is trucking, not a haberdashery.

    I am a girl. And that movie isn't something I would watch at work. Also, doesn't make these type of comments appropriate at work.

    Also..... " this one time at band camp" is something my students say to shorten a story very much like "yadda yadda" it's an homage.

    Ok I finally read you post.This is trucking and you're going to find. all of what you said in this field.Now Iim not saying it's right or defending your boss.But what I am saying is leave all that out because the employer may think if you have issues like that and then quit that you'll tell the next employer about that last company.It sounds like even though your boss was a creep you both parted ways with respect.So just say you quit and leave it at that.If they wanna know the reason then lie like you had to take care of a sick cousin.

    And just what would be a good reason to do that? SMH You have a problem like that you go up the chain of command within the company or put in a complaint with the labor board. You don't take it to their customers.

    As for reason for leaving, you needed to get some things done before starting cdl school.
