A trucking company owner in Wyoming is facing a lawsuit filed by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) alleging he sexually harassed female truck drivers. The lawsuit, lodged on Monday in the U.S. District Court for the District of Wyoming, names Norman Waller, owner of Big Piney-based Waller’s Trucking Company, as the defendant. Waller is accused of sexually harassing multiple female employees, including a driver he hired in February 2017. This driver reportedly endured near-daily sexual comments.

"Waller’s stream of sexually harassing comments was frequently made in front of [the driver’s] colleagues and other drivers, in-person, and over inter-truck CB radio," the lawsuit states.

Waller did not immediately respond to a FreightWaves inquiry regarding the allegations and the lawsuit. The suit details several alleged comments made by Waller, including:

* "Too bad you’re not wearing a skirt with no panties."
* "Make sure you wear a tank top so your boobies show."
* "You need to wear booby shirts so I can get more business."

The complaint also alleges that Waller made sexual propositions to the driver. These included suggesting he would cut a hole in the wall if they did not have adjoining rooms on overnight jobs and asking for a good morning kiss. The driver expressed fear for her safety, interpreting some of Waller’s remarks as sexual threats.

According to the suit, in 2018, Waller purchased a vibrating toothbrush for the driver and suggested she could use it on "any body part."
