there's such thing called EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunities Commission) and DOL...(Department of Labor) and why the police didn't charge this guy? Victim rights, prosecutors office....these are the places to call. As women truck drivers as long as we sit back and make no noise and accept this behavior, other male drivers, company's and their employees will turn face to this kind of behavior until it happens to one of them. These types of crimes and assaults can happen to any one any where....you have kids shooting up schools these days, anger employee shooting up Navy Yard here in DC. People need to take heed to co workers and these behaviors before the nut forgets his meds brings a gun to the terminal and shots up the place!

wow.i've seen so much in trucking that her story could be true.perhaps the woman can contact that ellen voie or whatever her name is,the women in trucking gal,and go from there.
as far fetched as it reads,none of us were there so who knows. women react differently than a man in any given situation.my mother was a postmaster during the "good ol'boy"days when men that couldn't match her education,work ethic,morals,and knowledge automatically assumed she slept her way to the position.I would hear the snide remarks the chicken#@&# men would say to where she could hear them as we were at postal conventions,etc.i was 14-15 years old and she would have to physically keep me from jumping them by explaining that is how men that aren't men react to being passed over for job promotions.I wonder if i ruined her time at these events w/my actions as opposed to her handling it professionaly.she knew she had earned the position and was not handed a darn thing.double standards are present in daily life my friends.we all are guilty i imagine at one time or another.
who's to say that whatever unnamed comapny it is wasn't simply CYA'ing? lawsuits cripple companies and we will never know what goes on in upper echelon meetings.the terminal manager/their boss may not have known how to handle such a situation and was inept regarding it on a daily basis thus basically 'letting it ride".
i think that mentality exists today which is why i am all for whomever gets the position will be the most qualified,not based on affirmative action guidelines and sex and religion,et al. veterans deserve the points and boost however for the most part.
i tend to believe it happened more than i think it did not.i have no idea as to a percentage of probabilty.I have seen how male drivers treat their female counterparts.I see women do a much more competent pti in the mornings.i see women creep thru tstops when the idiot flying thru one is a guy.and no,that has nothing to do w/this matter.just started reflecting on how women in trucking are subjected to a higher "standard" not unlike cdl holders are when we are in our personal vehicles.they already have the deck stacked against them entering a male dominated industry.
where's all the attractive women that want to run team? i am saving myself for marriage so i will be a great lead driver.
just had to throw that in for reasons unknown-Last edited: Jan 16, 2014
