I agree. This could have positive impact for the work environment, and there’s been a huge push in the US to stop human trafficking using truckers (who can pay attention to such things and make the calls to get people help) — and I think that women truckers could definitely help on this, too.

My thoughts, too. One of my friends has a PhD in Something Important, and ultimately, he hated the work, retired and became a long haul truck driver. He loves his life now. It’s good work and it needs to be done.

I’m probably not going to argue with you about this. Long-distance stuff is not more/less ethical than local stuff, likewise big companies vs small, etc. The issue is if the workers have good benefits and pay and working conditions and that is often determined by how well they are organized (or allowed to), and having…

I make 6 figures annually being a trucker. Whats the problem here?

I bet you say that to the plumber you frantically call after a pipe burst while your home is about to get flooded. If all these ‘little people’ would just deny you service, you’d have a hard time surviving.

It’s a lewd picure taken in the presence of a child. With the child *in* the image. It *is* chold porn. I’ve taken multiple courses in computer forensics. My professor was an analyst for the FBI for years with many of the cases involving child pornography.

Then your comment should be against systems that alienate workers from their work. Not against the work itself.

It bothers me when people take a negative view of very decent jobs. Do you know anything about this job? I assume there is a wide field with a lot of variation in pay/opportunity, but the long-haul truck drivers that I know make a decent income with good benefits. Perks: no micromanaging bosses, no coworkers in your…

Seriously? If you like to travel, and love to drive, truck driving is a great career! It takes skills and confidence, and pays much better than flipping burgers. Plus there’s no dress code, no office cubicles or politics, and nobody watching your every move while you work! I loved it- I made more money and had more…

The point of the pay gap’s existence (and the protest against it) is that women make less in both fields. If I decided to be a k-12 teacher, which is a field primarily seen as female, I’d still make less than my male cohorts, regardless of experience or education. Similarly, in my own skilled, male-dominated, manual…

Can I be by myself and listen to podcasts all day? If so it sounds perfect. I spent enough time in DC that I'm immunized against the horrors of traffic.

Why not? It pays well. Better than any of the jobs you mentioned and you work pretty independently. Don’t demean what you don’t understand.

The only reason for no one to want either of those jobs is that they pay poorly, which isn’t as applicable to truck driving. I actually know a number of people who enjoyed being cashiers/nannies/servers/doing casual construction work more than they’ve enjoyed higher status positions they’ve held later in life. Working…

Actually, it can be seen as child porn. Dick in front of a baby gets many sick fucks off.

Admittedly, I’m no expert on the nature of charges and/in relation to criminal activity(hence my use of the word “seek” in my previous post), but I feel like this is incorporating a sexual image(in that, he is “sexually aroused”) and a child.

I cannot stop laughing at these gifs.

that little green kid is hella dedicated to this race, tho.

And the women receiving these dick pics unsolicited.
