Now I finally understand the icon you have Nawlins...your someone with the brain power of a toy tyco R/C car...yea...that's what it is...now first of all...I ain't a clown...and neither is S2B...now you said i'm living at home with my mom?...lol...son...please...let me throw someone common sense at you...first of all...I don't live at home with my mom...if I had to say...I would say that I basicly live in my truck...now before you giggle and break your hands trying to reply laughing...let me tell you why...just ask yaself this question...why spend around $800 a month for a house/apartment when i'm gone be on the road for months at a time?...no place in the world is worth around $800 a month for me to only be there a week and a half every 2 to 3 months...I rather use common sense and save that money...so with that said...you go live at home basicly crying about pay because maybe you can't maintain your lifestyle that you had when you was getting paid more...while every check I get is saved after I pay my cell phone...internet card and sirius radio...so even if I make $500 a month...I still was able to save money...so basicly...i'ma whisper this so nobody else hears...."I tend to think I have more money in the bank then you..."...It kinda feels good to just take a day off...go blow some money...buy tons of DVD's that this very very very bad company never lets me get the time to watch because they keep me so busy being forced to make money...but hey...that's life isn't it?...and to me it sounds like you wanna just do whatever you wanna do while you work for someone else...well let me give you a little tip...until the side of ya truck says "Naw'lins Born"...wit a little robot tank or whatever as ya logo...you won't be able to do what you want...and there will always be someone that tells you what to do...even owner ops have appointments i'm pretty sure...so you just stay mad...ima relax in my truck and play madden 2010 on my playstation 3 with my 22 inch tv because i'm such a poor company driver...I should sell my surround sound too because times is hard around here at Watkins and Shepard...yea...lol...oh and on ya little..."It's like the Jeffersons...you move up" comment...well incase you didn't know...the Jeffersons lived in the projects...so what is there to move up too if i'm already doing good?...yea...exactly...ohhhh...I know what you mean...you mean instead of buying a $11,000 motorcycle for my birthday I should buy a $15,000 ducati?...ok...i'll think about it to make you happy...just don't park ya car to close next to it when your coming back to re-apply here when you realize your Watkins tattoos won't be coming off with water...because i'm sure you loved this company...just a mad driver like normally anybody else who quits is...oh and smelled soaded cement with piss on it is kinda bad...really nasty drivers out there...so tell all the other old LAZY drivers that need a log book reset just to climb out of there truck...to make it to the bathroom...or just dont be ignorant...I keep empty bottles in a bag in my truck incase I need to use the bathroom in the middle of the night...because I try to be respectful to everybody else...nobody wants to do a load check in piss...plus people have kids walking around...that's just rude...so yea I agree with you on the pissing comment...and of course...if someone doesn't like OTR then change...that's is exactly what regional and LTL is...your correct...but in your case...making great money being at home...getting to do whatever...go to sleep with something by ya side......is very good...so when all that stops...to go OTR...of course your going to be mad...that's like feeding kids candy for months...then try to change they diet up to veggies...it just doesn't work...

So...to sum everything up...to anyone that is a Watkins hater...I suggest driving a hazmat tanker down hill with no brakes...that a be a wonderful "Hey Folks" message moment...

To all newbs...or people instrested in any company...no matter what company or whatever job...it's always someone that loves it...and in Naw'lins case...someone that hates it...when your mad...your mad and tend to hate...how many people really leave jail sayin how fun it was?...

Oh I forgot...i'm not a number...and I don't feel like a number...I call in to Watkins...singing...playing around...just talking to not be bored...I don't feel like a number...but I kinda been here since January too...so things take time to build a relationship and to get a understanding for someones personality...but let me ask you this Naw'lins...this should make you feel kinda stupid...Watkins has over 600 drivers i'm sure...more i'm sure...but ima just say 600...now...if your dispatch...which is like 7 people total counting flatbed dispatch...you expect everyone of them to know who all 600 people look like...what all 600 names is???...don't think Cleo the psychic can do that...plus not to mention that we have new students coming all the time..I bet you couldn't even name all the people in any of ya highschool classes...so you expect them too?...sorry buy Watkins hires humans for us to deal with...not Ipods with memory sticks...

Oh and anothing thing...lol...sorry this is so long...but I keep remembering stuff as I go on...you said were under paid tourist or something?...lol...that was kinda funny til you actually think about it...tourist go places on there own...it's my job to go to these places...meaing...tourist "pays"...for fuel...hotel...everything they need...I pay for nothin and seen everything that's on anybodys camera...

But that's the end of my story...i'm dockin the red volvo til I choose to go local or regional...or if I choose to stay OTR for a few years...i'll be a owner OP...so I don't gotta worry about the big bad dispatchers that will huff...and puff...and blow my house down...lol...

Ohhhhhh...I promise this is my last comment...I hate when the company drivers here sit in the terminals cryin about how the shop didn't fix that...didn't do this...didn't wash they truck...whatever...incase yall didn't know..."ITS THEY TRUCK!"...long as it runs...that's it's job...to run and make you some money and the company...it's not about having the best paint job or APU's on every truck or the best tire brand...so if they don't wanna fix things...then they don't have too...everybody has the option to be a owner OP...so you can only cry so much...I love seeing my truck hood filled with bugs...it's letting me know i'm getting miles...I'll take a big check and a dirty truck over a clean truck and a small check any day...and if you don't wanna get that biggggggg pete or western star wit the big glass window on the side..."Which I love...just hate the western fronts"...then get yaself a F-350 and pull cars like the rest of the clowns that think there pros cause they back park a F-350 wit 4 cars on top wit no pull ups...wow...your cool...

I can crunch some numbers for you, if you want.

It's got to be a cross between Disneyland, Cancun, and an all flavors whorehouse.

I know this to be true....cuz I see so many people going for their 4th & 5th time. Some even go back within 24 hours of getting out. So it must really be a hoot.

A 10 day orientation? They told you to speed up to 65mph to go down
a hill before you grab a lower gear.Your lucky they sent you home if
you drive like that your going to kill yourself or somebody else.Never
use your brakes going down a mountain?Are you serious?

BackIsSore · Sep 6, 2009

Well, I was told to go 75mph and then to drive on the shoulder so O/O's can pass me.

myself, I like to just put my feet up on the dash and use the johnson bar for downhills....if the trailer brakes give out I've still got the truck brakes for a backup plan. The only problem is that I have to put my coffee cup down to yank on the johnson bar.
