Hi, Desiree,

I’m a writer from Baltimore, and have been told that one of my blog posts about truck drivers and 2nd graders is a real gem – sort of a love letter to truck drivers. Here’s a link – wondering if it’s okay to post it on your site, and how to go about it? It’s about something that really brightened my day…

I tried to figure out from your site how to contact you via e-mail, so you could decide whether or not to post this, but I had trouble, so I’ll just wrote it in the comment section.

Thanks in advance – hope you like it!

Here are the link to 2 “Blog Talk Radio” Shows done regarding Harrassment in the Workplace.

As with everything we have discovered, there are lots of back room shennanigans that occured in preventing these shows from occuring.

I am not in a position to revela the details at this particular time but please stay tuned.

There are some big names wanting this story to go away inside this industry.

Part 1
http://www.askthetrucker.com/trucking-advocates-discuss-workplace-harassment/

Part 2
http://www.askthetrucker.com/how-to-report-workplace-harassment/

I use the word “Harrassment” because this sort of thing is happening to Men and Women in all fields of work.

Reporting Harrassment often makes you a target, and being a Women gets you “Labeled” Sexual Harrassment and makes you the target of attack often from other Women.

This is workplace bullying gone rampant which has let a few bad apples run rampant and take control where no control exists.

A recent Female I spoke to this weekend told me she had to have 2 Trainers and stay out for over 2 Months learning to drive the truck.

I asked why she got off her first trainers trucks and she said ” because all he kept asking me was if I ever had my titty sucked by (a man like him).

I asked her if she reported it and she said “No, I just said I couldn’t understand what he was saying”

In trucking that means she is now labeled as difficult, but also that guy will just go pick up another female student.

If she reported she would have been attacked from other women most likely for reporting him.

That’s the truth of the matter in trucking right now.

I want that changed

Thanks for posting Tom. The CRST Scandalous Sexual Harrasment Cast has inspired a “Blog Talk Radio” show on “Ask the Trucker” called “Hostile Training Environment”.
CRST is just the tip of the iceburg but the unethical practices are well known in the trucking community & you can find many trucking websites where actual drivers & former students tell all.
The political affiliations involved send all sorts of alarm bells off.
You don’t need to be a scholar to see that.
You are welcome to call into the show.
Thanks,
Desiree

Thanks Desiree for what you do. The world needs more people who recognize injustice and make a dilligent effort to address it.

I live in Cedar Rapids, the home of CRST. Their VP on human resources, Ron Corbett, is running for mayor. I think he is a sleeze. If you could direct anyone that has been abused by CRST to me, we could possibly stop him and get a great female for mayor. Can you help?
