    You better get used to people being rude to you. Not because of what you identify as but because you’re a truck driver.

    What does that even mean? I act more normal than most of these people lol. If you’re asking i present more male then not really because they still assume I'm a woman or gay. There isn’t really a way for me to appear like a cis straight person. Will appear Either gay or trans in eitherway.

    That’s actually what I do i don’t say anything and just go with whatever they assume lmao. I dress very well and take pride in my appearance so it can be a little flashy but androgynous. Things that stand out the most are piercings i guess. And thanks i hope roehl works out good and i can start next week i figured it would be better than swift and stuff im just anxious and don't know what to expect lol was wanting to get at least 6 months experience. Hopefully my trainer will check me off early for driving good if there allowed to do that. I almost went schneider but they only allow pets if you team and that’s just dumb.

    I am old school, and a lot of us here are. But it's no one's business but yours. Work hard, do your job, who cares what anyone else thinks. I wish you the best of luck!

    Honestly, that's my first time seeing a trans-person posting on here, but then again you've been here longer than me so that explains it. I've seen gay people in the industry before, I've never a trans-person yet.

    Ha you nasty ! I use an Arizona tea bottle in my truck but when I did flat bed I kept it on the headache rack and I’d pull it out at the pump. Once when I was in my first month solo I pulled a Walmart bag out and dropped a deuce right inside the truck. That was a learning experience. I don’t recommend that. Was better than crapping my pants tho.
     
    Chinatown and Kyle G. Thank this.

    What does it say on your license. It should tell you which bathroom you’re legally supposed to use.
