    They all are female friendly.You are treated like a trk driver,your sex is not an issue.But don't come into this industry as a shy timid little girl.You'll be ecspected to do everything a man can do concerning trucking.I'm a female and never have had any problems finding a female friendly company.I drove for 9 yrs as a solo otr driver.Now im a local driver and the only female with 24 guys.

    The companies may not be sexist but most of the OTR drivers are. Carry a club!

    The minute you speak on the CB you will have at least 5 thirsty drivers asking for your carrier/color of your truck, and mile marker where you are at, other than that you are expected to perform the same job as the males. If I was to say there is a sexist company I would say maybe a small local construction/heavy haul/flatbed company but its 2013 so I doubt it. Good luck!!

    Wow, that's not really fair, I think that there are quite a few of us that are not sexist...really not good to throw everyone under the bus.
