Used to work at Uber Freight. There were definitely conversations around safety for women drivers or a lack thereof. Just wanted to point out that this statement is a little presumptuous especially if the author is not involved in the industry. Just because you're not exposed to it doesn't mean there aren't complaints. There's a documentary called Big Rig and it showcases the lives of truck drivers, some of them are women. They go into depth about the dangers of being on the road as a women, go watch it, you'll quickly realize some people do care.
- manigandham 6y agoHow is that related to the balance of men vs women and racial demographics in the trucking industry? Aren't the men also facing many dangers in that profession?
- apta 6y agoIt's expected that men work in more dangerous professions, they're after all, bigger and stronger than women.
- manigandham 6y agoYes, men and women are different, and choose to do different things as well (on average). That's why a 50/50 ratio in every industry is a nonsensical goal.
