Watkins Shepard 30-Day Training

umm... a big red truck...

 

soon2be a couple other things--- I know u post almost daily and drive like a mad man load after load so my question is ----- do you do all your posts with your phone? I can post quite a bit with my Iphone (which has internet) OR do you have a modem card for your laptop OR also do most truck stops have wifi?

and just when u might be thinking that I ask to many questions:: who all on this forum are w/s drivers????? you can pm or em me if u want .....instead of posting their id's here. I figure since I will sooner2be than later2be one of the drivers it would be nice to know who is in the same company

 

I suppose one of the nice things about this is that: if you are helping to offload and move, you get outta there faster and on to the next stop as opposed to a bigger company that you might be delayed a little waiting for them to get someone to offload you. I am also looking forward to "helping out" it will help keep me busy and stay in shape (sorta) , and get a little extra pay... I imagine somdeay I will just want drop and hooks but that day is quite a few years down the road.....BUT THEN AGAIN if it is 10 below and blowing 30mph - or raining like nobodies business THEN i guess the nice warm cab would be more preferred----hahaha

 

WARPD - did u start school yet? are you still set up for the feb 10 day

 

smart*** lol

 

I am set up to start school on Jan 18. I am going to meet with the guy at the school on Tuesday and pay them and sign the papers. I also spoke with Roxy earlier this week, and she put me in the #1 slot for the Feb 15 ten day class.

I am set to go!! Now if time would only pass quicker so I can get to it....

 

Hey Lynch, good to know you are getting good miles....just leave some for us buddy!

 

hey Lynch good to hear from you, glad u are getting miles and loads and sounds like u r liking the local stuff and it is paying decent. Re you doing drop and hooks or tailgating?? or ?? I finished all my w/s prehire stuff except the "agility test" but I wont have a problem with that, I am still inked for the Jan 13th 10 day and Warped will soon follow, keep up with your updates....R u still posting your "routines" on a thread? BTW What did you get for your 1st truck?
take care

 

I'm a W/S driver with a big red truck, posting from an iPhone. I got out of the western loop and now I'm parked in the Pennsylvania snow, and I even got to slip and slide a bit today. For you newbies, here's a tip: when you deliver in the snow, don't expect the truck to handle the same once you're unloaded because taking weight off the trailer takes traction off your drives. I had no problem at all getting from the truckstop to the consignee today but getting back to the truckstop after delivery was a completely different story. Let's just say that while today wasn't a day off for me, I did get to do a little sledding. No harm done, though, and really just another days' work out here. I did see one of those white Penske Columbias pulling a W/S trailer up her today.
