Just in time for automation to eliminate all their jobs
Women already outnumber men in college and law school. Now they can take over trucking!?!? Stop wasting time and kick dudes out of the ditch digging business too! Women! Women! Women!
Not in Kabul, right JoeBiden?
Regular women drivers are scary enough, but now women truck drivers? Yikes!
Many ladies have been trucking for years now. Media just found this out this year?
Corollary: The opportunity cost of driving freight carriers is exceptionally high. Trucks themselves are fiendishly expensive, and being away from home for days at a time is rough on family life. But the pay is good, so… yeah, awesome.
WHAT is AMAZING is ALL THESE ARTICLES SHOW BLACKS WITH JOBS...YET PANDER TO THE WHINERS
They could try paying more money. Truck driving used to be a solid blue collar middle class job. Closer to indentured servitude now.
As an ex-trucker I nearly starved on the road. Truck drivers are not paid a living wage. For the hours I worked each week the pay was the equivalent of $5 an hour. Never again.
My mom left her office manager job in 1994 and team drove with my dad. When my dad decided to leave trucking, my mom bought a straight truck and drove by herself until she retired in the late 00’s. She enjoyed trucking and loved seeing the country.
I usually see quite a few women drivers when I'm out on the road.

US Army has a long tradition with truck drivng woman. It's time that this also reaches the civilian world.

And yet, the robots are coming. sigh
Why were women laid off underPPP?
This is great news!
I'm a regional ops manager for a trucking company in the southeast. We see more and more women applying each week. I for one welcome more to apply. There are plenty of local jobs. Home every night. Admittedly it's long hours, DOT says they can work up to 14 a day.
We never said you couldn't be truckers. Like we never said you couldn't be plumbers. YOU chose to avoid those jobs.
WayToGoWorld1 My sister is a dump truck driver in Florida.
Now if only the drivers that are being pumped out of these CDL mills were actually good at their job.
You have to pass a drug test.
