Watkins question: Do they run Electronic Logs? What types of trucks?

We're still on paper logs here. There's no set date to make them mandatory but it's being pushed hard. I think Watkins will run paper until we are forced to change.
As far as trucks go we have freightliners and mostly volvos.

 

Cool! Good luck to you! You doing orientation in Missoula or conover?

 

Good luck Oaktown, Keep us posted on how things go for you.

 

Yeah actually I run a dedicated route right now from Helena mt. Into alberta. I've been doing it for close to two months now. It's really a piece of cake. Good consistent miles and I'm usually off every Friday night and Saturday. The border doesn't hassle me at all and I've only been held up twice due to paperwork mix ups. If you can get into short line or a dedicated gig it's definitely worth going for. You don't get to see near as much country but the miles and schedule are much more consistent than OTR

 

unless you are out of the Helena or Lakewood, WA terminals you won't see Canada.

 

I actually live north of Salt Lake City utah. But I just don't go home at all and am willing to live out of the truck in Helena so they let me do it. As far as timing, it really was just luck. When I asked about it they just happened to need someone. I am looking at relocating to Montana though, I love running up here.
