KLLM Being Sued By The EEOC

It’s also an industry dominated by whites..should that change anything?

Sorry, we got no black trainers available.

Simply put, discrimination is discrimination.

 

My husband wouldn’t sign the note allowing it otherwise I have no problem with a male trainer..

Bring a note, beeach, lol Sounds like some sharia law bs.

 

Did your wife sign a note allowing it?

 

Stevens was recently sued also for not giving an option of training with a male.

 

Just don’t hire women..

Central Transport LLC, a freight hauler based in Warren, Michigan, agreed to pay $5.5 million in May 2026 to resolve a federal lawsuit filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). The suit claimed the company spent nearly a decade refusing to hire or interview qualified female truck drivers nationwide, instead choosing less-qualified men.

 

Yes......let's call EEOC right now..... let's blacken up the industry. I should asked my homies when i started training with Western Express back then to sign the documentation. Lol. In all seriousness, I don't disagree with the discrimination when it comes to the compensation. In the article, it seemed to talk more about the comfort level of male trainers and female students. Some were refusing to train females, I'm assuming to protect their marriage or themselves. Same with the females wanting to wait for a female trainer. Some people out here are sensitive man. It don't take much to get in trouble for sexual harassment/misconduct these days. The unfair compensation is probably what will get KLLM in hot water though.

 

I don't doubt that it's a good number of males training females. I've seen it the other way around periodically. I've definitely seen it a number of times. So when there is OTR training, I get having hotels in option....is it always realistic though? You and I know the rigors of trucking. Maybe for 34s I can see where the hotel makes sense. For 10 hr breaks, not so much. I can totally understand the apprehension of female students and male trainers if they refuse to integrate.

 

My thoughts exactly......they don't have these policies for no reason.

 

i wouldnt take a female trainer , not this day n time . Dont get me wrong , women are beautiful creatures , been married to one since 91' , i just aint putting myself in a position to have to police every word .
