Sexual harrassment at trucking school

I was sexually harrassed at trucking school.This man used remarks like:Woman dont belong on the road.They get raped and their cargo gets stolen.When I was on the interstate he would keep reaching for the emergency brake that made me extremely nervous because I knew that it would cause an accident.By the time I got back to school I was a nervous wreck.He would then come up to me and say:Are you alright?(while rubbing my shoulders)I said no,I'm not!You make me nervous!You dont give directions until it's too late.He would say:it will be alright.He asked me if I wanted to be one of his girlfriends.I told the head instructor at the school about him this mans inappropriate behavior he said that he would be going away for 2 weeks to another school. and that I would graduate by then. And then my instructor wanted to go to the school that he was teaching at just to look at their new school.And that day I did not show up to school.I didnt want to run into him.I told this to my instructor.I want my CDL!I dont want to have to put up with this man. What do I do? I was told that I could sue the trucking company and this man. Please respond ASAP!Thank you
