    I went to work for a different company which W/S expects you to do. No bad DAC from them. Just honest. I can go back to work for them if I please. They like drivers like me that want to work.

    I'm doing the math for hub miles. I hate that they may not hire here. I'd love to work there again and chaif some nubie hide in the Missoula lounge, but I bet with SmurfitStone shutting down Frenchtown, there aren't the gaggle of cranky drivers hanging out there.

    Congrats on the new position Waltsib. It is critical to find the balance between home life & work life. This is exactly the point I was making about getting that first year in somewhere, but knowing that type of running will only work for so long. Good luck.

    What's it to you, Bucko? Where's your contribution in the Watkins Shepard thread?

    Ok. You got the vapors.

    I hate W/S.Been O/O here 11 yrs now. I hate all that drop pay and having to call customer to touch base to make my job easier.I hate it here. I hate calling W/S and them knowing who it is by my voice.I hate those tight drops when I actuallly have to be a trk driver,man I hate it here.But really,could WS do some things different to make it better?Sure. But overall they're real decent or I'd look somewhere else.And for the ones looking around,I've been knowing guys over here 10 yrs and everytime u see them,they're gonna quit next trip.Did I mention I HATE W/S? :biggrin_25523:
