Chris, I know exactly how you feel. I was a female in a mostly male job (long haul trucker). I had trouble getting waited on at truck stops. The receivers treated me like dirt. My dispatcher would give me problems talking down to me. I just smiled and tried to do my job. I agree you can get help here. Ask questions and get involved in some of the swaps. The round robin I'm in has certainly stretched my skills. We are here and happy to help.:)
