No they did. This is stated for the ohio terminals. If you go to the eeoc website and look at the jan 09 archives you can read all about it. i was called a trouble maker. I am not. And i commend the roanoke term. The company i used to work for we had 3 women. 1 f/t line haul , 1 f/t city ( she would only drive a single axle with a 36 ft. ) and myself i was both line haul and city. Varied from week to week. I liked it. They would put me into areas that were routed for the straight truck but i did with a tandem and 53 ft. I have done everything from pallet jacking my freight on and off to taking the 53 down residental streets. Cause the customer did not tell us that there Business was out of there home. Using the smaller trailers with the lift gates, going to grocery whse and finger printing and breaking down pallets for them because they were mixed. Running the refer trailer. Even driving the straight trucks. Over 10 years driving exp with no accidents or tickets. But our company got rid of all company drivers and now has contractors so they dont have to pay or health ins and workers comp. Been there done that. But apparently that is not up to poe standards. I do know that i have never seen a female driver for them thru my travels in ohio,penn,ny,and mich. I was just on 90 last week and seen all kinds of pittohio trucks but all men. if they are closing the toledo term, i would venture to say that it has alot to do with what the findings were from the eeoc. And the economy yes would be to blame also. A friend of mine has a good friend that works out of the toledo term and said he knows of no women driving for them in the adjacent states. I am just sayin that there should not even be name on the app or gender, if that were possible. Lets see what happens then. For men and women. If there is no name and no gender on the application look at strickly qualifications there would be more women driving. My late husband who was a driver and put me in the truck, did a statistics. Out of 100 men and women, the women had less tickets, accidents, cleaner trucks. he use to say that i was a better driver then him. I dont believe that.He trained me and was an excellent driver and could do circles and drive anything he planted his butt in. But what he was saying is that we are more careful and less apt to take that corner so fast. I was top in my CDL class ( which I took after he trained me, because of the third party testing) we had 20 drivers and only 4 were women. I averaged 97.8 on written and in the truck. A male driver this past winter told me I was nuts for doing the linehaul that i was on for the contractor i drove for (at the company that got rid of us company drivers). I asked him why. He said cause the weather you are crazy I did it once and wont do it again. This came from a man with more driving exp than me. What is up with that!!!!?????
