Wouldnt it almost be ironic getting banned from a truckers forum? That's like taking someone's C.B away for cussing......
Duck
Sarcastic remark goes here
Not really ironic.
I got banned from the "Truckers are bored" Facebook group today because some dumb broad with a ban button thought this picture was offensive to the victims in France.
And I challenged her to explain exactly how it mocks the victims rather than the idiot politicians who use tragedies to push their agenda, using logic and rational thought.
Apparently she couldn't.

Women on average have less upper body strength. For some, it would require more effort to climb up into the cab. Especially the ones with 4 foot wide asses.
Therefore the fact that trucks don't have power lifts on the sides is SEXIST!
No, seriously, I've actually heard feminists attempt to make that argument.
Excellent point @Duck....I think the real question should be is how can the industry attract more "attractive" women
there you two go again talking about them mud flap girls

Because it's not easy work and they all have heavy lifting requirements

I've never seen a UPS driver pick up anything. Not even a pen they dropped.

Actually I'm talking about the ones that deliver to homes.Those drivers work hard they must do a minimum of 75 stops a day and you better learn your route within two days.YRC is always looking for city drivers/dock workers very physically demanding FedEx UPS and YRC.

Yeah, in the Class A division...
"Buster Brown" drivers are so full of themselves with their little buster brown shorts, pens, shirts, hats, clip boards.... attitudes... as if
I don't care what they pay, you ain't paintin' me all brown just for an ugly truck and ugly clothes
They remind me of what Viking used to be. There was a shit load of them at one time. Di Salvo, Viking, UPS... so many. Just drop and hook, get a ride straight to a motel, dont even detach your pull-trailer
Get a ride back to the truck, run your 8 hours and then go home
Most of those companies are history. Ancient history. Union Companies.. far and few between.
Can't believe drivers used to get on a waiting list for Buster Brown, and then start on the dock and work their way "up"

Yeah I'm not into dock work just to maybe get a driving job. I left warehousing to drive. I didn't leave warehousing to warehouse with a CDL in my pocket.

I used to work at the same pace in warehousing. It wasn't sustainable for me.
I'm not lazy but I'm not really tough. That's my problem. I work harder than I should and screw my body over.
