It continues to be interesting and inspiring to follow all of this. It gets to the heart of improving the way we support each other as human beings, how we create community and build relationships in the workplace. Keep focusing on a conversation with a center rather than sides even though the issues by nature encourage polarization. The fact that other formerly resistant voices are speaking as advocates shows progress is being made in bringing things to light.

Yes the way they team pople up is ridiculous & they manage to dupe you into being responsible for the choice but providing no access to moe appropriate choices.
With regards to trainers I can’t ttell you how many racists ended up with diverse ethic studentd … is it any wonder the student didn’t learn anything having to listen to a bunch of ignorant diatribe all day.
One Woman I met was assigned a trainer who was just jilted at the altar, a Mormon gentleman. Here she was trying to lean to drive & for a month had to listen to this man say how he hated Women.
This stuff happens from Greed to plump bottom lines. Thanks for stopping by….

Thanks for clarifying that information. The above post was made by the concerned Mother in 2003 & the mention of the Trucker Buddy Organization in the Pedophiles Crimeshots Post mentioning Ellen Voie specifically seem to indicate two things.
A heightened awareness & knowledge that certain persons will gravitate to positions where they can be with the prey they seek. Whether this be Children, Women, Power Etc.
The other thing is that I see a pattern by one specific person to dismiss & make light of the concern when the evidence need not be any more overwhelming.
I love the Mission of Trucker Buddy & think it is a wonderful program. I encourage participation.
I’m concerned by the pattern by Ms. Voie.
The remarks made in the “Bully in the Workplace” Documentry, the emails I’ve received trying to keep me quiet, the online Cyber- Stalking from WIT members with a sort of “tongue in cheek” response for over a year with comments in writing like
“Ouch Desiree that hurts” by Ellen Voie rather than nipping the situation in the bud show that this is not a person who intended to be a leader.
This is a character issue of a person who is potraying theemself as an advocate for a group who needs one & that harms the entire mission.
I am advised that there have been phones calls made to have a You Tube removed now & a New One made in regards to this Organization.
The questions still remain on the Integrity.
You can never move forward if you continue to cover up & conceal.
I’m hoping this won’t be just a publicity stunt with someones life.
I’m glad Trucker Buddy was able to survive & move forward after this event & its a shame that this man slipped through to tarnish a worthwhile endeavor but as the Mother states above, he is sick & needs help. What is disappointing is when you seek assistance like she & I both did from the person who represents the Organization & you are treated the way we were.
It seems that no lesson was learned by Ms. Voie from this 2003 incident & continues to conceal rather than correct.

Also, this is something like four executive directors ago … New folks running Trucker Buddy now, and even the suggestion that someone is involved in this crap is enough to get their butts kicked out.

That’s not a defense of the particular person who is the aim of this thread, but just to bring us up to date on an organization.

Life can be very unfair. When I informed the Executive Director of
Trucker Buddy International that one of their drivers who was a
Trucker Buddy (a trucker who voluteers with a classroom of kids) had
written my 12 year old son an email saying, “I want to cuddle and
snuggle and be sexual with you,” and indeed sent her all the emails
where this man admitted that he fantasizes about kids sexually, she
decided the emails did not constitute formal proof. She further told
everyone that what I had reported on my website regarding pedophiles
was not factual. Why would anyone stick up for a pedophile rather than
the children? The man needs help, not encouraged to continue
volunteering with kids.

Ellen generally only cares if someone is talking bad about her so I know she won’t watch @NJKatwoman Co-Driver Nightmare Post and see all the REAL Women Truckers unless someone makes her.

She will utilize what she can get her hands on and take credit for it though and there may not be a way to prevent that unless we start a letter writing campaing to her sponsers.

The first You Tube by Christy @NJKatwoman talks about her Co-Driver and the comments of support here on this site explain how complax this issue is and how well covered up.

I spoke to Christy and Jan @KeysTruckerGal yesterday and WOW! there is so much more going on with the level of corruption in this Industry and it really points to Ellen being in cahoots with some real scum.

Not to mention the Pedophile coverup at Trucker Buddy that is detailed is the above post called “Crime Shots”

To add to the confusion , Christy thought Ellen of Women in Trucking was actually trying to help when she made this You Tube

and read all the comments.

This is what Ellen Voie does, she will use others to stick their neck on the chopping block, even cover things up … and then when she shes an opening, repackage it and sell it as her own.

The YRCW Issue, The US Express Incident, The CRST Sex Harrassment Case , the DOT and Ray LaHood saying it wants more “Women in Trucking” and now my appearence in the Dan Rather Report make Ellen Voie appear relevant by the way she reformulates the package to suit her.

If you research her though she seems more like an ambulance chaser, esspecially after her Video of the “Bully in the Workplace” where she was asked questions that were not part of her usual script.

She’ needs ideas on solving harrassment because she has none and she doesn’t believe it. She says as much in the video.

But NOW that it is going to be a potential moneymaker to promote herself, well that’s different.

She is reading this because she refollowed people on Twitter shortlty after, unfortunately she doesn’t know who is who and that also says a lot.

Twitter is transparent , who you cavort with and avoid EVERYONE can see so if you are a phony and only interact with liars, they see that also.

We will be nipping at your heels Ellen to keep you honest because your obviously need guidance in that department. READ UP and take LOTS of Notes… Git’er Dun

We have progressed way beyond “she asked for it”. My gosh one was making fun of another woman trucker’s size! Ellen fishing for ideas on “new harrasment guidline”

Desiree they don’t get it.

When I took Filmaker Beverly Petersen to her Booth Later who Interviewed her for the “Bully in the Workplace” Documentry which shows Ellen basically saying that Women Truckers bring it on themselves (The Video Link Is here on this Site and it astounding) I asked Ellen Where the Brocheres were. She and Char looked at each other and Char said “I think they got under the table”

Did they walk there?

I mentioned this in the Dan Rather Post also that I confronted Ellen on this topic and she said “There was no room on her table (BULLSHIT) and it was none of my Business BUT she did hand out a few I just didn’t know about it”

At this point, it’s sorta hard to believe anything Ellen Voie has to say.

I’m unclear if Sandy Long and Gloria Torbich are aware of these items. I do know that Sandy Long does moderate anyone who she cannot control with an Iron Fist on the TTT site and talking about Harrassment is a big No-No.

I am told the theme is “Women are Whores and Deserve what they get for wearing Pink PJ Pants with Bunnies on them when the walk from the Truck to the Shitter.”

I’m not diplomatic today unless you can’t tell.

This is part of the problem also though, it’s not my job or Sandy Longs Job to dictate how a Woman should dress. I don’t think it’s right to go running around in a tube top at a Truck Stop but it’s none of my fucking business either. This ain’t fucking Afghanistan!

A Man told me the following. A Trucker:

Even if a Woman is walking down the street completely naked, no one has any right to Rape or beat or harm her.

The remarks Sandy Long made following the post about the Serial Killers makes me wonder what in the World she is doing giving guidance to anyone.

Ladies we are being FUCKED here and it’s not by any Men!
