Actually the #trucking industry has been in a full court press to hire more women without doing anything about the #rape in training problem or #sexdiscrimination #retaliation ... they want that good PR while #women suffer the workplace violence that is prevalent.

Another bastion of misogyny… For many years my mother teamed with her husband, some of the stories are frightening… Trucking companies should be tripping over themselves to hire women… They don’t because they are ‘preserving’ their way of life… It’s a job, not a boys club…

Many #truckdrivers say these companies change contract after they sign it to make it, so they cannot & pay it off early to leave. This forces them to walk away from the truck. Sometimes they get hit with a bill for 2x the trucks value even though they've paid 110K or more already

She writes: "At one place I was the ONLY sleeper there. After 3 hours, they pulled me from it, refused to pay me the short haul they promised me because I didn't actually get the load. They get mad if I go off route but have not provided a route & their GPS was broken"

Then another guy who had 1 week less training than her, was impatient on Christmas Eve with a line of cars. trying to get into a gas station. He ended up sideswiping the cars and taking off his 2 passenger side mirrors. For home, the company said "oh well these things happen"🙅♀️

One driver reports that company violates the terms of the lease, but he doesn't know what to do. They pull him off of loads they have given him, and he ends up doing quite a bit of sitting even when he is a top trainer for them. This is #trucking lots of schemes on #truckdrivers

What you need to know about #MeToo in #trucking ... if you lose a landmark $5 million #sexualassault case for 1 Plaintiff & have 100's of other allegations against you. You get sweetheart partner opportunities from @USDOL meanwhile Actor Chris Noth was dumped instantaneously

So, according to my Republican critics, I’m “indoctrinating” you by showing you Native history. I always thought I was simply providing you an education — that their schools failed to teach.

How many times in the past 10 years have we seen a trucking company shut down just before the holidays and ditch their workers? #truckdrivers #trucking #labor #jobs #workers

Misclassified truck drivers , feeding the truck driver shortage myth. This business model doesn't just affect port drivers. It affects lease truck drivers & 1099 drivers. This industry is disorganized by design. To prevent organizing. To prevent knowledge. Knowledge is Power.

NEW: The supply chain crisis is being blamed on a truck driver shortage.
That's a lie. There are 15% more drivers than a decade ago.
The real shortage is in trucking jobs that don't ruthlessly exploit drivers. “Truck driving as it is right now can be compared to sharecropping.”

Today I am being deposed for a federal case as an expert witness. It's going to be a long day and I got up very early to read my report again. I've been waiting over a year for this ... takes forever , good thing I do not tire easily.

This means a lot to me. In August I spoke twice at #supplychain chain events with my presentation on becoming a Good Shipper, a "Shipper of Choice" , the positive feedback has been incredible. Like This > #truckdrivers #logistics #freight #trucking #transportation #workers

My name is Eddie Geller. I am a comedian and democratic activist. When Scott Franklin voted to decertify the election, I couldn't sit back and wait any longer. Today, I'm running to defeat him and flip Florida's 15th District. Can you retweet, follow, and help amplify my message?

If new truck drivers are working off a tuition debt or receiving a state/federal grant to pay for training... why are they out there operating on the highway alone in this situation and seeking answers on Facebook ?
