Ellen Voie failed to mention that her “FREE” anti-harassment document is for the highest paying corporate level sponsorship, therefore it is not free at all. No drivers have seen this super secret document and thus us not reinventing the wheel. It is the law of the land but unless the corporate cultures embraces a non…

That is typical on the WIT page because they get sponsor dollars from CRST and other offensive carriers. That is why we lady drivers created REALWIT

I love being a truck driver and being in a different town every day. I love seeing the country and watching the sunrise and sunset coast to coast. I have never had any job that made me feel such a sense of accomplishment. To have that snatched away from you after finding it is devastating. The trucking lifestyle…

They do not know what a human resource department is because many of them have not worked anywhere that had one. They do not know how to seek justice, and they have no money to take on…

I agree

It has to do with the lack of filtering in recruiting. CRST and like carriers who use a team business model to run freight often look for people to recruit who are down and out. A warm body in the seat to move the freight. These training carriers exploit people who arrive to orientation centers with their belongings…

Thank You Anna for writing this story and helping us educate the public. The trucking media largely ignores this topic. They will cover a story of a stolen truck , and of male drivers being robbed by a female while they slept in an unlocked truck but they look the other way on rape, harassment of women and…
