Toll Group: Tell Guess? & Under Armour's Carrier to Stop Workplace Segregation!

Bathrooms for both sexes are non-existent at MANY shipping/Receiving facilites AND some are non-existent AT ALL for truckers of any gender PERIOD no just for Toll Drivers at these ports.

I asked another female trucker to respond on this topic & she replied:
"If they only know that it happens all over the US to a lot of drivers! No bathrooms for drivers, no bathrooms for females, trucking companys that want you to wait for loads or tank cleaning but have no bathrooms or showers! I have to sit in hot truck & not eat good hot food for many hours! I wish I could sit down & have a little talk with someone in D.C. to let them see how some of us live, just so we can pay the bills & live here, I was born in the US & still have trouble making ends meet to live in US and help keep US moving with all I haul in the tank but can't have a bathroom, shower or air for long periods of time! Nothing helps I don't drive a nice car and I don't wear nice suits. I'm just a dumb truck driver. I have to learn to live with it, I made the choice to be a truck driver! At that is what I have been told!!!!"

This topic needs attention & discussion in entire trucking industry

Green Jobs = Good for the Environment, Bad for Women?

I'm New to a line of work that is predominately Men.

It has opened up a vast new world of Ideas to me of other unknown fields including "Green" , it will be reletively new to everyone.

I write my blog about the Challenges I had going into this job which I found to be from a lack of training & support internally.

To form the New Green Industry good initial preparedness to include everyone should be devised early.

After all , great minds are not gender specific
