Watkins shepard

rednek! i think i may just need to head out west.... and im not going to no waffle house.......
lynch you can call the shop tm and let them no, and have someone come out and fix it over the weekend, so that way your not stuck sitting for any extra days ya no!... just an idea...

 

ooo... btw..rednek... as im sitting hear talking to candice, she just informed me that texas looseys closed for good as of yesterday....

 

How is Watkins-Shepard with regards to idling? Are they as anal about idling as Swift, Knight, and many other companies?

A well-rested driver is a safe driver. Conversely, a poorly rested driver is a dangerous driver. In order to be a well-rested driver, one must be allowed to sleep in a comfortable, properly heated and cooled berth.

It's unfortunate that most OTR companies do not recognize this obvious fact.

 

Nooooooooo whyyyyy

 

Retired, to be honest, it does not matter how comfortable a driver is, or is not in some states you just cant idle. if you do idle, and get a ticket, you, the driver will be 100% responsable for paying that ticket.
tho you can idle the trucks, its not something that ANY company would recomend doing more so of the cost of fuel then the epa rules....plus, idling a truck hurts your fuel milege and will make it difficult to reach the fuel bonus depending on what truck you have.
its not that companies dont recognize the issue you brought up. its that the drivers dont recognize the obvious fact about how much fuel is being wasted even more with the bad econemy..
if your going to chose a company based on their idling policy, i think maybe you should look into another career

 

It depends if u got an apu most guys have them I don't ;( unforchenly and idle when I have to like cold hot etccc not to much ssaid but same time ur chance of a fuel bonus is shot

 

rebnek, im not really sure why, and dont think she is sure why either, but it was sudden, her boss didnt tell anyone at all... they showed up to find out it was closed. a sad day in LA!!!
i told her to make sure she gets another job where we could still come see her!!

 

Oh I know s2b u will come west as far west as what georga....

 

actually ill go as far west as ky..then back east!!, i told u, i asked if i can go out west and they told me that they are keepin me here cause they have a hard time keepin drivers east... cause everyone hates it over here... which i dont blame them either... but for u lynch 6309 their is no excuse not to come out here!!!!
