Urine containers, and worse with my team driver.

No you got it wrong.

The eeoc is the equal employment opertunity commission and they are the federal agency that looks into employment issues like this.

These guys will have you come in, fill out paper work to start the complaint, then interview you to get your statement and then investigate the allegations with the company. There isn't anything they can do other than lie about it, so one reason why I keep stressing documentation is that a company can't claim you made crap up if you have dates, times and places of incidents. Phone records and such help too.

 

The EEOC is a federal government watchdog agency that provides help to employees with the sorts of issues that you've faced.

 

0.21 #### cents a mile?!

That's NOT acceptable. This is late 70's era wages.

 

Go somewhere nice and quiet. Sit and enjoy the scenery and clear your head.

Sometimes it can be frusterating what with the stresses and all. However. As long you protect your CDL and choose your battles carefully, you should enjoy a relatively decent life rolling in a 18 wheeler. We had 4 women with us in trucking school in the 80's out of 22 of all kinds, including felons etc and they all did pretty good.

Gender in trucking is not a issue. HOWEVER you got into a buzzsaw when people caused you much trouble and I say to you get the EEOC involved (They are Federal) document everything, write down names, who said what did this or that to you and essentially resolve that. Then move forward with your life.

There are so many companies out there that do well with females in any rank or position within the structure. Hang in there.

 

It's been a couple weeks since the last post here so I hope you've at least found a new and much better job, but this whole thing looks like blatant sexism to me. You keep repeating that it's a good company to work for but that sounds like it's just what you tell yourself because they've gaslighted you into believing that the situation you're in is normal. It is not. It is not normal to still be on training pay or stuck with a "trainer" after that long. You are NOT getting paid fairly OR treated fairly and being told that you're "hard to get along with" as if that's some professionally acceptable excuse with no backing (you're off in a truck away from all these people for most of the time for F's sake) sounds like classic sexism. The plant to find dirt on you and then ditch you is EXTREMELY NOT acceptable. DEFINITELY get out of there if you haven't, but definitely report them too if you can. You are worth more than that and that kind of targeted harassment shouldn't be allowed to go unchecked.

 

Although this is a crap company and your trainer was a disgusting slob, saying he sexually harrased you when he didn't wasn't the right thing to do.
There were many legit truthful ways of dealing with this.

With that said, this job should be easily replaceable.

 

Uhh, I don't think he did that because you are Female. Thats just the slob he is. I've seen it, and I'm not Female.

"Could be construed as sexual harassment" Ohh, Please...

Your right to want to get away, and have good reason. No need to pull the harassment card.

 

sounds like you'd get treated better at CRST if you like teaming. something to consider or just roll somewhere else on your own.
