Is there a forum specifically for women?

Go down to a place called "Discussions about everything" I think it's called. There is a ladies forum there room there. Good luck

 

you shouldn't be harassed at all,i haven't heard about lifting 100lb over your head for box driver,flatbedders yes,seedy neighborhoods are always possible but you dont have to stay there,move to where you feel safe,women trainers are in short supply.

 

With tankers I never had much seedy neighorhood experience other than occassionally driving through one. Was in some rough neighborhoods at times with reefer trailers. Talk to Prime and Schneider about their tanker divisions.

As far as being harrassed by male drivers, it may happen on rare occassion, but those guy are usually cowardly. You can control that real quickly with a quick phone call to the company. I know of one incident at a truck stop where the female driver screamed and started backing away from the male driver pointing at him and continued screaming. She wasn't really afraid at all, but he sure was. That's a little far fetched, but whatever works, do it. That was probably the last time he risked harrassing a female driver.

 

TMI ! Oh to the Ladies Room . Though she was using the rest room. Welcom aboard ! Have fun! Lots of good advice on here.
