Watkins Shepard Safety Interview/HPE EXPLAINED!

Sorry I read up and answered one of my questions about where the HPE test would be done at.......Im guessing a local clinic in my town.

 

You would go to orientation in Conover, NC

 

Yes we have a Terminal in Conover, NC this is where you would do your orientation. You do this testing at a clinic just like where you go to do your physical. Since you have Experiance, you would just do a road test and then do the normal videos and paper work type of orientation for 3 days, then hit the road.

thanks, I talked to Roxie today to find out how I should go about trying to get on with WS. she was very nice and asked me a bunch of questions. then she sent me all the info on the company pay etc. WS sounds like a good place to start out trucking. she said the 1st day of school to call her and we can get a pre-hire going.....COOL...I have been reserching this for awhile hope I can get on......

 

Thanks! Sounds like a good company from what I've heard. Nice to do orientation in the same state as I live. Im not big on Greyhound rides.

 

They need to add:
pushing 300lb weight on slippery floor 40' and
taking 100+lbs off of shelf way over your head over and over to be more realistic!

 

Just to resurrect an older thread (and 'cause I have a question, darnit):

Anyone know if there's an issue if you have low blood pressure? I have been rejected for giving blood because I have a naturally low BP and pulse (117/60; 40 bpm) and would hate to get dumped just for that.

The rest of the HPE sounds like cake, including peeing on command (5 pregnancies, you get really good).

 

I'm not sure, but if you can pass your DOT physical you'll pass that part of the HPE...DOT physicals are only $20 or so at clinics

Watch these guys.
For two months my son filled out paper work turned in mvr's took physicals took drug test set up orientation. Then son put in his two weeks notice with current company. Didn't burn bridges with company. Shows up for orientation and after 4 days. They say Now they found something on his mvr. That they have had and looked at for 2 months. Then sent him home. Thankfully he was rehired by previous company before he even completed his bus ride home. I find it pretty crappy that WS gets away with this junk. All back ground stuff should be completed before driver quits current job or shows up for orientation.

 

ummm they do, and if they found something and sent him home he shouldn't have lied about it....

Get away with this stuff ya right like they do that all the time, and chances are he didnt tell them about something.
