Watkins appears to be making a lot of changes... purchasing new trucks, removing drivers, ect.... where are they in the process?... almost there? Just starting? Not trying to throw any punches ... just asking.

A new driver has enough problems as it is.
The name of the game is,
Reducing Your Risks !!!
Try to even the playing field as much as possible.
All aspects of a company, need to be considered.
And the highest starting pay rate,
should NOT even factor into your decision.Last edited: Jan 7, 2014

jungledrums, many of those violations were written on their flatbed division. Many of the writeups are just nitpicking and should have just been pointed out to the driver. Some of that simple stuff should have been caught on pre-trip inspection and fixed in a few minutes.
We used to put a twist in the nylon straps on flatbed securement so they wouldn't make a loud popping in the wind, but now DOT put a stop to it claiming the twist weakens the strap which is not true.
I wouldn't be the least bit hesitant to work for W&S, but with 3.5 million truck drivers in America, we won't all agree on much of anything.Last edited: Jan 7, 2014

The one alert in unsafe driving. That is being addressed and the numbers are getting better.
The two other alerts are from an audit where there were clerical issues. Those alerts remain for a year even though the numbers are not enough to create an alert in the , "On the Road" section.
We are moving to People Net and have started Smith Driving Training for all of our drivers.
Safety is paramount for Watkins Shepard and the numbers are improving and will continue to improve.jungledrums, double yellow, gpsman and 2 others Thank this. -
What is Smith Driving Training?
Chinatown Thanks this.
