    Good call! Posting any bosses' picture is not only not a good idea, but more than likely a career, or at least job ending idea!
    It is both surprising and refreshing to see a post like this! I hope your attitude remains the same for many years.

    i think you guys a little rude. if she treats her drivers like humans that's what matters. my last boss was a reckless ###, an actual danger to the general public, the way he pushes his drivers to go faster and take chances. my last day there i asked one of the guys how fast he drives. consistently 8-10 mph beyond the speed limit. my response to that, WHY do you take such foolish risks for him. he's not worth it. no boss is.

    i also have allot of respect for women drivers, which i have met a few. i think its commendable they are willing to enter a male dominated industry and stick with it, and become a integral part of this industry. hat's off to the female drivers. i saw a woman in her mid 20's driving a cement mixer yesterday, and yes she was attractive; but that does not matter.

    so far i would recommend this company to anyone interested in the construction trade part of trucking. any company in this field that respects safety is a win.

    I wasn't meaning to be rude at all. I even tried to defend that fact by saying I wasn't ogling over the Tribe owner, that she's a genuinely pretty woman. I'd like to think that'd be taken as a compliment. No one has more respect for women than I, and lots of others also on this forum. But when it comes down to brass tacks, let's face it. This is a male dominated profession, and an attractive lady is not going to go unnoticed, and rarely will go unmentioned. Does it make a difference she's attractive? Absolutely not. Is it going to go unnoticed that she is attractive by a group of truckers? Doubtful at best. No disrespect intended by me, however.
     
    Just passing by Thanks this.

    [Q
    Reminds me of years ago when some guy would be seen looking at Playboy magazine; then red faced say something like,"Uh...actually I don't even look at the pictures, I just buy the magazine to read the articles."

    In this case though, their family pictures are posted all over the internet already. They probably want the attention hoping it will help their construction business.
