He gave the best "advice" here, a hint to get the hell away from Watkins and Shepard. Pretty sure swift with their pay raises is better to work for now.
OP will probably see a lot of people leaving orientation by choice. Please check out what you're getting into before showing up. This company has terrible reviews. Lots of freedom though. Don't be a pansy and go there just because you don't wanna spend 4 weeks with a trainer. It sucks, but it will help you.
dismissal from orientation?

Bean Jr. Thanks this.

Watkins & Shepard is the Carolina Cargo of the deep south. Instead of coming into the job with a criminal record, you'll be leaving as a criminal since it'll leave you broke and desperate. Those double hot dog thefts will catch up with you.

Don't listen to the crap about earning stripes. Get out here and make money.TruckDuo Thanks this. -
Brandson gives good advice. He's making 45 cpm and he's only been driving for a year. W&S pay is low and the chance of screwing up your record is high compared to other starter companies. Jungle Drums got 30 points on her CSA score because of their junk equipment. Bad trailers are a never ending story at this company.

I'm sitting here at the Missoula grayhound station waiting to go West back home after 3 days of orintation . WS uses a third party phys tester they use a complex weight machine to test your physicsal strength you are strapped in and you push pull against the bar the harder you push-pull the harder the resistance after 2 appointments they did not like the results. I have broken my coller and shoulder bones so yes I'm not quite 100 % but I have passed all my other tests including the smith defensive driving test so go figure there is always schinder
TruckDuo Thanks this. -
