    Yes, keep promoting more flooding of the trucking job market.

    What a great idea.

    I can feel the rates dropping already.

    It's hard enough on a guy, don't think to many women would last unless they are running team with there husband.

    Although I don't drive any longer, I used to haul a flat bed, solo.
    Being out here with my husband, I see LOTS of women drivers out here, driving solo....and a lot of them are probably BETTER at the job than some of the guy noobs out here.

    Just my two cents.

    All for women joining the dot-wish they would work as trucker for 5 years before being an employee of of dot.They might actually know what they are doing then and have a clue.
