Trainers (& female traners?)

And there it is.

Just too darn volatile on so many levels.

 

as mentioned previously equal opportunity is a law.. tlhere can't be any discrimination.. however, a valid reason such as a significant other will give one an exit.. each state may be word it a little different but its basically the same.

Its actually illegal for a company to limit female students to female trainers just look up the discrimination lawsuit that prime lost a while back

Swift uses both male and female trainers, you can ask for either or both. Smoking or Non is also a consideration. You will wait longer for a female trainer the odds are not in your favor. Are they the best? Some are great some are horrible, look for a company who will let you change out your trainer if they aren't teaching you successfully.

Some men won't train women, one lie and their career is over. But the awkwardness among the sexes goes beyond training in the trucking industry. Just because a guy opens a door for you and says good morning doesn't mean that they are hitting on you. Or when women do talk to you they want you to do their job, because they don't know how. These are generalizations but social norms get skewed in the trucking environment.

 

I think that was Prime Inc.
