    My first wife wanted to be a truck driver... I said ok ride with me for a while and see if you like it... The ENTIRE time I got nothing but, "are we there yet", "I gotta pee", "Won't this truck go any faster", "I don't like that music".... so the answer to that is your right not all just "most"...

    I spent a great deal of time telling stories and combined with her travels in the past she was not too much trouble in trucking. Ultimately the food and the hours caused her body not to function correctly to her liking and we got her to stop doing it before too much damage was done medically. So Im glad we got to do it, on the other hand some of the things she was able to do was pretty good. If I remember right there are two interchanges for US 1 on I-287 in NJ off the GW's HQ area northbound. And I had not had the chance to brief her about which would be the correct one.

    By sheer dumb luck she managed to take the right one towards Avenel, I can only think of the problems that would have been if she ran off on the other one.

    The feminists inform all women that men are bad and if they ruled the world there would be no problems.

    I have not experienced too many women with chips on their shoulder, but have a thought on it. I have seen many drivers or wanna be drivers be genuine pricks towards women drivers, maybe afraid they might take their job someday or something. Lots of guys think trucks are for guys only.

    Feels sorry for them. Co ed trucking is the way to go. At least I would rather stare at a female trucker on my 34

    Offer help when help is needed But not because it’s a women.


    Remember feminists say we are all the same not different, soooo I treat everyone the same.


    And most women are stuck up because they get hit on a lot.

    Not necessarily stuckup. More like not in the mood. Ive usually broke that little problem by letting them know that's not the goal. We are not even near that possibility. That usually smooths the feathers a little bit.

    But if I evaluate someone as not able to deal with the situation rationally then so be it, best to you. kwim?
     
    LoneRanger Thanks this.
