To settle a suit brought by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, New Prime Trucking, Inc., which does business as Prime Inc., will pay over $3.1 million and make job offers to more than 60 women who were deemed negatively affected by the company's same-sex driver trainer policy. According to EEOC, the agreed upon payments follow an earlier court order that found the truckload carrier had violated federal law when it required that female truck-driver applicants be trained only by female trainers.
