    I don't know what is up with some trucking companies. But for sure Builders Transportation is discriminating against blacks, here it is: Most all white guys runs West Coast, I know three black guys that passed a test and was given every excuse for reasons they could not run West Coast. And most of the white guys said they had no problems getting runs out in the West Coast. This has to stop; and this company have all whites working in their office located in Memphis Tennessee, one black woman works to herself in a different area separated from all the whites.

    Certain types of people just see discrimination where none is. You go looking for it you usually find it. Why would a company care who drives the load as long as it gets there. I don't work there but again cries of racism usually fall on my deaf ears.

    Get those chains off yourself ,tell them you want to run west and ask how long it will be before you are running west ....stay on em about it until they are sick of hearing about it ......i don't think they care who moves the frght as long as it gets there

    Its still racism out here...trust me I get it all the time...but I agree with you. ..When some one has to do their job or can get a job they blame it on race...sometimes it plays a part...but most of the time its because that particular individual didn't have the experience or credentials they needed

    Of course racism exist, always has always will. But the operations department of a trucking company is about the least racist people there are. They probably don't even know the race of the driver they assign a load to, nor do they care. Why would they? They need a load moved, it's their only concern. To say that they are systemically singling out black drivers is preposterous.

    Well said Superflow, don't let them hold the driver down, make sure the company knows you won't settle for less.
