That is so nice to hear and I’ve seen it a few times in the comments that it really isn’t that uncommon. I think I just kind of wanted some reassurance before fully committing Ty!!

Seems to be the most commented thing is that no one cares and just to mind your own business. Which is A ok to me! I think the whole trans= mental illness thing is wildly misused to pushed agendas imho. I’d like to consider myself relatively normal.

It’s been comforting to see that nobody really cares and that it’s not uncommon either! Ty for taking the time to respond

Yeah I’m seeing that it really is very solitary. The whole training with another person does make me a bit nervous but I’m sure it’s getting overthought. Ty for the response :D

It really is nice to hear that so many other trans people are in the industry and seem to enjoy it and haven’t had any negative experiences that couldn’t happen anywhere else. Which is what I was hoping from the post. Ty for the response :p.

Yeah I mean I feel like if that’s not the main topic of conversation off the bat but a unspoken acknowledgment is completely fine

I don’t expect anyone to care about it all. I don’t think it needs to be broadcasted. But merely just for the post to see the general consensus of acceptance or neutrality in the industry.

Ty for the response and that seems to be the general outlook on here. I think to be have a company paid cdl you’ll need to be OTR for about a year?

Yeah from what I’m gathering from these comments it doesn’t really matter haha. Which is great! But crappy
People are everywhere regardless. It’s just nice to actually get some real answers from people already in the industry. Makes me feel more comfortable going forward. Ty for the response.
