		<description><![CDATA[I edited the Paypal Plea for Christy by &quot;Doitherselfer&quot; because we did collect some donations to help out.

The following &quot;Thank You Trucker Desiree&quot; Video revealed Christy was in an urgent need of assistance but it also created a lot of confusion about me and Ellen Voie.

Obviously Ellen is in fact reading everything here and contacted Christy with Marge Bailey.

I will be watching to see what Ellen Voie will deliver or take credit for. There are 2 other Women who needs assistance with DAC issues to get back to work that seem to be retaliation issues, possibly the beginning of class action lawsuit which I am currently making phone calls to collect more information.

I am looking forward to hearing about Christy getting back to work so she can move forward with her life.

There is no reason I should have ever had to go this far to get Ellen Voie to do her job but I will continue to follow up because sadly Ellen seems to feel she is being victimized by being held accountable for the position she created for herself.

Actions speak Louder than Words.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[** I understand that some donations have been made to help these Gals get a few things , like food and personal Items.

They are grateful and so am I to know people do care. I do not want to be responsible for any fundraising though so I have edited the emails at this time and I know that Christy is receiving assistance with her DAC.

Deb in Canada has at least got a roof over her head through winter. She has also experiencing some difficult times because she is a 50 something driver who cannot do the job she loves because of the Industry Method.

This is wrong!

They have no one to care for them and they are tossed off?

Christy may still need to find homes for 2 kitties and trade her Truck for a Van in case she becomes homeless while trying to get her DAC repaired and get back to work.

Mike Rone from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.twitter.com/rmrconsultants&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;@RMRConsultants &lt;/a&gt;in Dallas (his Twitter Tag ) said they are assisting Christy with the this, I hope I am correct in that, that was my understanding.

Mike and Linda Rone are concientious folks we have come to know on Twitter, who specialize in DOT Compliance and have regular Webinars. You can find out more about their offerrings &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.rmrconsultants.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt;

I am going to post the other You Tube here made by Christy.

It was meant to Thank Me but she explains her situation which has made us all very concerned.

It also shows the confusion that has been created by Ellen Voie of &quot;Women in Trucking&quot; who has done nothing but cover up these Obstacles to Real Women Truckers trying to make a name for herself.

She is reading all of this though and has begun to refollow people on Twitter and pretend she gives a shit about something other than herself and trying to get her name in print or on media.

She is utilizing every shred of content she can lift from all of us and she is financed so SPEAK LOUDLY LADIES and MAKE ELLEN WORK FOR IT for a CHANGE!!!!!

Ellen Voie is a Saleswoman who is a Professional at taking credit for what other people are doing. 

Here is Christy talking about what her situation is following the Co-Driver Issue. I spent time on the phone to hear more and must say, she is getting the shit end of the stick ... I say that knowing there is more to ALL Stories but many of us came into this Industry to work independently and be individuals. Being a Woman with no family, a no one but yourself to rely on and knowing you are skilled to drive a truck but unable to be hired to do this job you know... that is a problem.

		<description><![CDATA[Another very sad story. I feel for this woman. (Katwoman) Unfortunately this situation is among so many of us. And it doesn&#039;t have to be this way. As I have mentioned many times I think the trucking industry is both sad and disgusting. I am ashamed to be called a truck driver. I do not want to be a part of an industry that treatment of fellow humans is both normal and excepted. There are no excuses other than GREED. I can assure you I am not here to stay! Like so many others I am here only because of our economy. A situation out of my control for the time being. (edited by Desiree)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thank you, Doitherselfer!  I appreciate your good heart and trying to help me thru this very difficult time.  At least I am not homeless for the holidays, and I cry for those who are.  An &quot;angel&quot; gifted me a little cash thru my email to PayPal, 
and it was a Godsend!  I have always helped the other truckers, and even ZoeToots when she lost her job.  Usually, I could only afford $20.00 or $10.00, but like I told my cyber friends and fellow YouTubers, if everyone sent five bucks, it really can add up, and keep the electricity on, or buy food for the frig.
If I don&#039;t get a job in a month, I will be forced to sell everything in this apartment, I will try to keep my family memento&#039;s and pictures, I was even looking at an old camper on Craig&#039;s list so I don&#039;t have to live in a van.
I am scared.  This is not a good position to be in for anyone.  All because I refuse to drive w/ an unsafe bully and NJ Unemployment has still not decided my fate under their &quot;fact finding interview&quot;.  I&#039;ve had no income for over a month.  All I want to do is to go back to work, doing what I love.  Thank you to anyone who wants to help me, your kindness will come back to you threefold!
God Bless!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[WIT needs to re work the organizations mission statement if they really want to help women.

I also saw that Sandy Long attacked Desiree which made me wonder ‘why’ Sandy belongs to WIT…..obviously Sandy’s mandate is NOT to help ‘women in trucking’ but to support the growing attitude of the men in the trucking industry to keep women OUT of trucking. 

Desiree has been courageous,putting herself ‘out there’ to tell the story of how women are really being ‘handled’ in the trucking industry and with the Trucker’s Rottweiler aka Sandy Long helping women leave the industry….WIT needs to look at who is representing the organization if WIT is truly ‘helping women’ to train and stay in the trucking industry.

		<description><![CDATA[GREAT POINT!!  10 yrs ago, my first trainer with only 90 days experience was sexually aggressive, was only in his underwear most of the time and when I tried to get off the truck I was threatened by my Mgr. A FEMALE!!!!  They said I could either stick it out or face being terminated! We fell we have to &quot;take it&quot; and most of the time we do cause we have no choice.  I did file a complaint wich was dimissed as unfounded. I&#039;m sure I was labeled too.  My husband and I even went to the corporate office and were pretty much laughed at.  There&#039;s nothing we can do, it&#039;s her word against his... finding out late i was not the only one who complained and that there were even guys who had complained!!! We left that company as soon as someone else would hire us. Thanks to Christy and everyone else who has come forward. We are not a bunch of crazy, lazy, drama queen bitches that some seem to think we are. We are real people with real issues here!  I am proud to be a woman in this business and proud that I do not fit the &quot;mold&quot;. I will contunue to wear make-up, dress nice, and be a &quot;LADY&quot; regardless of what people say.

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Christy:

   I saw other Women privately express that they had past situations that made them hesitant to react.

  No one wants to wear their heart on their sleeve and have to discuss old wounds to quantify WHY they want OFF the truck.

  Some psychological triggers may be set off for a Women who was previously in a violent situation from Childhood or from a past Relationship from hearing some strange man yelling a few feet away.

   What may be logical for one person may not be for another. There is plenty of evidence to support that these situations do escalate.

   Even in the case of having to wake up one of my co-drivers who slept like a rock. I worried I might get socked from having to shake this persons arm to get them to wake up and drive, that is from a past experience of mine.

  One co-driver I had drank A LOT when we were in-between loads and would return to the truck very drunk at 2 or 3 am when I was sleeping on the top bunk. That made me uncomfortable also, I don&#039;t know this person, I don&#039;t know their temperment, I don&#039;t know if they blackout.

   What I did know is I could NOT trust my own company to target me if I reported him because I was targeted from day one as a troublemaker for reporting the first &quot;Incident&quot;

I kept quiet about many things as do most Women for fear of retaliation or Ridicule .....and much of it from other WOMEN.

That is why Women truly are the last minority, they seem to think it&#039;s a bad thing to support one another and some sort of Anti-Man Campaign.

Real Men Do NOT need a captive, or someone to belittle.

That goes for Real Women also.]]></description>

<p>  No one wants to wear their heart on their sleeve and have to discuss old wounds to quantify WHY they want OFF the truck.</p>
<p>  Some psychological triggers may be set off for a Women who was previously in a violent situation from Childhood or from a past Relationship from hearing some strange man yelling a few feet away.</p>
<p>   What may be logical for one person may not be for another. There is plenty of evidence to support that these situations do escalate.</p>
<p>   Even in the case of having to wake up one of my co-drivers who slept like a rock. I worried I might get socked from having to shake this persons arm to get them to wake up and drive, that is from a past experience of mine.</p>
<p>  One co-driver I had drank A LOT when we were in-between loads and would return to the truck very drunk at 2 or 3 am when I was sleeping on the top bunk. That made me uncomfortable also, I don&#8217;t know this person, I don&#8217;t know their temperment, I don&#8217;t know if they blackout.</p>
<p>   What I did know is I could NOT trust my own company to target me if I reported him because I was targeted from day one as a troublemaker for reporting the first &#8220;Incident&#8221;</p>
<p>I kept quiet about many things as do most Women for fear of retaliation or Ridicule &#8230;..and much of it from other WOMEN.</p>
<p>That is why Women truly are the last minority, they seem to think it&#8217;s a bad thing to support one another and some sort of Anti-Man Campaign.</p>
<p>Real Men Do NOT need a captive, or someone to belittle.</p>
<p>That goes for Real Women also.</p>
