Watkins Shepard 30-Day Training

Linda, very true, however, he is also the saftey director as well, and would never encourage any driver to drive in extreamly unsafe conditions... right??

 

Hey Snakeskin....I'll take this one for Lynch....

WS does not finance tuition anymore. They used to, and had a pretty good payback option, but so many other people took advantage of the company and defaulted on their loans, they got out of that business. You have to get your own financing or just pay it all up front, which is what I'm doing. The cost is $4695 I believe....and that also covers lodging and a bus ticket. If any other WS employees can chime in here and add to this,or if I'm wrong on any details, please let us know.

 

Wow, 2 days to work on the truck? What, did they have to order a part via Pony Express or something? Hopefully nothing too serious....

Heh, spending the nite in Missoula....bring back any memories?

 

I'm flying in on Saturday around 6 PM, going to get a jump start on you boys..lol. 10-4 on the chilly weather seen -40 wind chill on the weather report but I don' know what that means.... we don't speak that lingo down here. Lol

 

Thanks for heads up. I am a Workforce Investment candidate and should get the final ok and bottom line signiture next thur (17 or 18th) which gets me into cdl school fully paid for..... say a prayer!

 

No problem for the heads up...i will say a prayer for you and your WIA grant...
