Although I am in perfect health, and in possession of a valid class-one California driving license, I am running 31 problems getting employment in the trucking industry because I am 32. You may have heard that in recent years, more and more women have been entering the trucking 33 . But here’s the catch; in most 34 , women are able to enter the trucking profession 35 as part of a husband-wife driving team. As for putting a single woman 36 with a male co-driver for long-distance hauling, the companies that I’ve been 37 , on the 38 that they could get 39 for condoning fornication and adultery. 40 two drivers sharing long-distance hauling are expected to 41 driving and sleeping shifts to keep running 20 or 22 hours a day, employers have told me they feel that inevitably I and a male co-driver would wind up spending all our time in the sleeper berth! In short, it’s 42 that because I’m a woman, I’m incapable of behaving responsibility on the road, of 43 any responsible attitude in my co-driver who, of course, would be incapable of regarding me as anything 44 a sex object, placed conveniently 45 his disposal by the firm while he’s on the road. I’ve also been told that I could be hired by the company in 46 if only they had another woman driver to put me on with; but the company doesn’t hire woman anyway, 47 there’s no 48 driver to put me on with, so… There you have a nice circular argument 49 firms use to protect themselves 50 up pity woman who dare to stay single, try to gross $14000 to $50000 income yearly.
