Tracy was the first to find this post & then Tom Hansen. It was because they spoke up in a public place that I could direct the Dan Rather producers to hear a portion of this story. When Tracy texted me the other day to tell me Karen won a jury trial it was such good news to know some sort of justice was served. There are many other gals waiting for their day & only those who have suffered in silence know what a lonely road it is to endure. I thank all of you for having the courage to speak out.

We met in CA at your trial. I am going back to driving next week. Good luck to you.
Tracy

I just want to let you know it means the world to me to know there is public support for the silent victims of companies like CRST who do not care about the safety for their women employees.

This was a case where the woman was able to secure legal counsel apart from the EEOC but was mentioned in the bigger suit. This is very good news. I know being in a court action this long is tiresome & very happy for Ms. Shank to have some justice

I am a 52 year old women that has spent my entire life working in a male dominated industry which has been Construction. I have worked and owned my own business for over 34 years. Because of our economy I was forced to do something else and my choice was the trucking industry. I new it wasn’t an easy choice and have heard the rumors like everyone has. You just never dream it could be as bad as it is. I find the trucking industry both sad and disgusting. I am one of the lucky ones. I can make it on the measly money you are paid. But this industry (Trucking) goes against everything I have have fought for my entire life…And I do not plan on just being a part of it and turning the other cheek. I hope I can in some small or big way make a difference.

Since this journey began 4 months ago until now. Is how long it has taken me to finely get through the training part of it all.

I do know that my trainer is no longer with my company. The pictures I had of his behavior and unprofessional acts is what cost him his job.
Safety could not just push it under the rug. I gave them the tools and to my surprise they got rid of him. :)
I will doc everything along the way as I did through my training. It is called covering your ass.

I have lots to share and plan on pissing off a few people along the way. Enough is enough.

And thanks for being strong. :)

Sincerely,

doitherselfer
