Females training with men

I think it is important to not turn this thread into a woman-bashing one. I know many male trainers who have successfully trained females and continue to do so. To be honest I am happy there are men that will take them in to train. Also, men can be vindictive too! I'm not at liberty to get deep into the details but one of the worse betrayals I ever suffered was at the hands of a male! He beat me out of almost $25,000 about 15 years ago. A man that will train a female is tops in my book! I also have nothing against a man that will not!

 

For the love of money is the root of all evil. I won’t loan money that I cannot afford to lose. I would not go into business with friends or family members as I do not want to risk damaging the relationships. I saw my dad almost lose everything he had worked for by going into business with a friend who then robbed the company blind.

 

Men of course can be all kinds of terrible as well
The difference is:
Our society as all sorts of effective ways of dealing with bad men

We have pretty much zero tools at our disposal as men dealing with a woman gone rogue .
In the age of "Believe all Women" it is simply not safe for a male to train a women.
Its a gamble for your entire future

 

I love everything about women. I'd train them before I ever trained a male.

 

Wow, I am a guy and a veteran. I am getting my CDL back after an absence of work while taking care of my wife. Covenant sent me a pre hire letter and I am going to think about this as they do not sound like people I want to be in a truck with, let alone see a woman in a truck with. Is all their driving team driving, as I prefer solo driving? Thanks if you answer.

 

The relationship wasn’t the only thing she wrecked, was it?

 

You definitely don't need that experience, stay solo and stay close to home. If you are teaming getting home is almost impossible as well.

 

That is exactly what I am trying to do. My wife can no longer ride along like she did years ago. So home time is going to be a huge advantage for companies that want to recruit me. I may have to do what I have to do the get the recent experience to meet insurance requirements for some regional and dedicated carriers, or oil fields that have 2 weeks on and 1 or 2 off on a rotation. Going completely OTR for the long term and team driving long term are not ideal for me. Luckily, I do have another pre-hire from a mega carrier and an interview this coming Tuesday with another one. I also have a regional flatbed company showing a lot of interest, if they give me a pre-hire that would be my pick. 5 out loaded on Friday then home for the weekend and loaded for Monday. They might need me to get some recent work history first though, but I will keep praying on it. Even a 14 out with 2 home would work for me. I will keep praying on it. God will get me where I need to be.

 

With all the talk of a supposed driver shortage, I never hear anything about the bottleneck that is OTR training with another driver. I've tried to talk several friends into getting their CDL and I can never get them past the part where they'll have to live on a truck with a stranger. It really isn't something a "normal" person would do, and I say that as someone who's done it.

Idk what the alternative would be, aside from maybe having the Federal Government offer insurance to cover first-year drivers so smaller companies could take them on and train locally. But there's gotta be a better way to train new drivers than throwing them in a metal box with a stranger for several weeks.

 

I've trained many drivers over the decades, and plenty were female.
Had problems only once, and it was her being very aggressive, and wanting sex, and not willing to take no for an answer.
I put my cellphone onto record, and have her audio, she was subsequently fired, and left there to take Greyhound home.
Never had a female complain about me, or my training.
Plenty of thanks, but no complaints.
