    Hello my Name is Erika Spangler I am new to this board am looking for some advice.
    I have had my CDL license for 10 years and I drove various buses for many company's.
    I only have one year experience driving a 18 wheeler over the road.
    In 2011 I have come to terms with being transgender and came out to my friends and family. I have transitioned legally and now have female on my CDL license.
    The thing is I have not driven for almost 6 years and all of my experiance came when I was still male. So I applied to Schnider national as a regional driver, and was told by my driver recuriter that I would not have to go back to a truck driving school, that they would put me in thier new driver orientation which would last 18 days. I was told with my experiance that they would give me a $11,000 sign on bonus!! I was asked about my gender change and have provided my court documents of my name change and gender marker change. I go for my dot physical and drug screen on Wednesday. If everything works out I would start orientation may 18th.



    My question is two fold have any of you have seen or know of another transsexual truck driver? & why does Schneider offer so much to a regional drivers as a sign on bonus??

    Congrats on keeping up on your CDL and "finding yourself". As for the bonus, I would just take the money and not ask too many questions. Good luck and be safe.

    I'm not sure how being transsexual has anything to do with trucking... But anyway, good luck!

    11000 for a sign on bonus? really? Like cranky yankee said we have pretty well seen it all in the trucking industry. Shouldnt be an issue. Not to be nosy but are you one that can pass as a woman or is it obvious that you were once a male?
