    Are there any women that have worked for Western Express that experienced sexual harassment by a trainer or other employee? I'm curious to know how your situation turned out because I didn't get the reaction I expected when I said something to them.

    Most people want to believe it doesn't happen, because it has become a cause du jour these days with many accusations and lots of big monetary awards. Too many guys out here that think drivers are supposed to chase everything that's even remotely female, so I don't blame women at all for being upset at the way they're treated. But...it's a two way street. My personality likes to make jokes and comments in a non-serious way, but I have to be careful because of the liberal 'everybody is a victim' mindset. 'Somebody said something that made me feel uncomfortable, so I'm going to sue'. Pleeeeeze....

    I'm offended by that statement.

    Now where did I put that lawyer's number?

    This isn't to say you weren't harassed...but telling your DM and then being fired over sexual harassment accusations ain't happening...there is more to the story.

    Never said you made it up...did I? Given the nature of your response though....there is more to the story.

    As opposed to what, the conservative 'nobody is a victim mindset' ?
