Another Youtuber who is indeed trustworthy just posted a similar incident in California. Not acceptable.

Hotels... how often do you stay in them?
For 6 years i lived on my truck. I got rooms a couple times a month. I kept a google maps list of hotels with truck parking. All la quinta, best western plus, and holiday inn express.

I watched your video. I really did not know that it was a law that locks have to be on bathroom doors. Even old people can learn new things 😉
I agree with you though. Even though I'm "one of the guys" out here, I'm still a female and don't want to have anyone walk in on me.

Gender neutral bathrooms are supposed to be one room with a lock. By law. This was signed both men and women, had 3 stalls and no lock on the main door. They basically turned the ladies room into a gender neutral.

Honestly... i totally agree with Laura. Helicopter wife. We see them from time to time and it really makes the husband look bad.
We do know what evidence you have... the DOT plow driver wrote a statement. The fire department got its first call ten min before the accident. The state police report... the NWS ... we heard it all before. And again as i posted before... there were multiple reported accidents and half the state's highway was shut down 10 hours before. I posted the weather reports and warnings that were up 3 hours before the accident. I was there. You are never going to convince me that he was not at fault.
Plus, there is no way in hell that meat load was safe. That accident for the cranes, tow trucks, services probably cost $300,000 and the load was probably another $200,000.
Sharon, we are all current drivers who donate our time to try to help out new drivers to get into the trucking industry. We praise caution and responsibility. What you are demonstarting is the exact opposite of what we preach here.
If you are both drivers, why are you facing financial ruin? Get a job. Support your man. If you are still sick and in need of health insurance, he was doubky irresponsible jeopardizing his livelihood just to get something to eat. There was a good restuarant in Grand Island. He didnt need to head to York for that.
Call your bill collectors, make pay arrangements. Apply everywhere. Get an online job since you like to spend your time compiling evidence. Go compile something to bring in money.

Many of the places we go to have gender neutral restrooms. Recently i found a customer and two different mom and pop locations that did not have locks on the doors.
Please please please... if u find an establishment without a lock on the gender neutral door. Please report it to your company and/or the authorities. This is against the law as well as our cultural norms. Please help protect our drivers.
This can traumatize both men and women.

The "Why I Quit Prime" link is NOT Kearsey quitting Prime, especially after the company awards she recently earned.
The link goes to a video on Trucking Along With Kearsey where a newbie does quit Prime during her training because things just don't go her way (boo hoo).
Hahahhaha! I didn't even think of that. Thank you for clarifying.

I often have a problem with student Youtubers because they are so new to the industry that they often don't understand what they are talking about. They tell you a version from their side, although it may not be reality. They do not understand why something is happening.
After I thought about this, I realized it could have been the student's attitude with the trainers on the phone. The trainers could have told dispatch "oh no, I don't want her" and dispatch could have been trying to talk the trainer into it.
Why am I saying this? Because at least 4 times I have done so. One was a woman I met at the terminal who was a know it all. Another told me "Once I get my CDL, me and you is equal. You aren't telling me what to do".
I asked one "what is it about training and trucking that makes you nervous?" People usually say backing, downgrades, lack of mechanical knowledge. Nope... this one said "nothing. Im go with the flow". Next! You are too stupid to be on my truck.
I had one tell me "I need training my way or we gonna have a come to Jesus moment." Uh... bye. Yiu can come meet Jesus at the terminal when I drop you off.
So beware of new Youtubers or other students giving you info. Understand it is from a perspective of a person who doesn't know what they don't know yet.
If yiu start a Youtube channel, be aware that your company is watching. Many a student has been fired for doing something stupid, dangerous, or against company policy.
