I've been following many of the threads about W/S. Overall it seems like a good company.
Can you eventually work your way up where you don't have to unload furniture? I can see a few years of that being quite rough on an older driver.
Also looking back on your training, do you feel it might have made it easier to pick-up on everything with a few weeks OTR with a trainer? You all seem to have done fine without it, but I'm just curious.
Thanks -
a trainer would have avoided plenty of stupid things i have done...but you learn either way haha. common sense goes a long way as well as knowing when to just ask someone for help.
furniture isnt THAT bad...for the most part you dont really have to unload it. -
I have one, hope it's not being to nosie. What kind of extra pay do you adverage a week on layovers, detention,drop pay,and any other pay besides mileage. I still can't make up my mind between watkins & shepard, and kllm. You all seem to realy like watkins & shepard.

I notice that most of the furniture loads seem to be in the east. What makes up the western US loads?

I would like to say here that when you go to orientation that you are not hired yet, they have a good idea that they want to hire you but the goose is not in the bag until they give you the tax forms and tell you what truck you will be assigned to. I see guys saying they are hired and invited... bla bla, nope not so quick sparkie!!
