Drop Yard in or near Stockton, CA area?????

Watkins-Shepard has a terminal in Modesto & hires new cdl grads.

 

Yes, they have a shared drop location in Stockton.

 

There is a secure drop lot in Sacramento, CA. Normally lots of room to park. We lease a area inside a secure business park. No restrooms or anything like that but it is paved with prob around 30 spots.

 

What is up with Knight recently?

 

I've talked to several of their dry van drivers and they all like working there.

 

Knight has been doing alot of "house" cleaning the last month or so. Im wondering how many of these new post are a resault of that. /shrug. Just like any other company sometimes you got to scrape the pond scum off the bottom of the boat.

 

10 days is plenty of time. If it wasn't, Watkins-Shepard wouldn't do it. Believe me, after 10 days you would go crazy being stuck in a truck with someone else. There's nothing complicated about driving even though some seem to think is comparable to flying a space ship to Mars. The only time a driver needs or may need more than 10 days is some special hauling such as chemical tankers or oversize/heavy haul. For dry van, reefers, flatbeds, 10 days is plenty.

 

You already know how to drive; now you're just going to refine that a little more each day. The trainer at Watkins-Shepard will just check you out a little and teach you the customer protocol, paperwork, etc. 10 days is plenty of time for that. You'll now be able to stop to rest, eat, get some coffee, etc. when you want to and not at the whim of another driver. Having a trainer for too long actually impedes your learning because you feel like you're working for him, not yourself. Best wishes!
