[QUOTE="Workaholic, post: 232735"] I know what you mean upslady. I was a driver for 6 years and I had the same problem. I too, have short hair and people would assume I was gay. I am not really the girly girl type and I am married with several kids and it would blow my mind when people would get a confused look when I mentioned it. It seemed as though it was mostly the snotty receptionists behind their desks that would act as if I was beneath them because I did hard labor. Overall, I feel I was well respected by everyone I worked around and never had any issues that I am aware of from any of the guy drivers. I've since moved into management and I have been well respected, outside of one ignorant ex-co-worker who claimed I would get promoted quickly only because I was a woman and not due to my hard work or ability to perform the job. You will always have people trying to put you down in one way, shape or form but gotta learn to overlook the stupidity and move on. [/QUOTE]
