Watkins Shepard 10 day Training in Conover,NC

I wonder who that was that stopped by today!!

 

hmm.... i wonder...

hope you guys are doing ur homework!!!

 

Oh I'm not sure, probably sometime in the morning.

 

I talked the SOB today he is not going to drive for a while.He thinks it is OK. to go for Refresh?Old Pete needs new shocks and exhaust Y pipe and fuel sending unit Ay AY Ay $$$$$.

 

Good to meet you, S2B!!

I judged yesterday as a good day because I didn't hit any other trailers or say anything stupid. Vern and Tim are still discussing our trip up north (possibly to Michigan) for Friday and Saturday but it's not for certain quite yet. I hear it's supposed to snow like nobody's business Friday night!! Tell you something else also, the more time I spend meeting other employees from W/S, the more I think I'm going to like working for this company. They don't treat you like trash just because you're new, ya know??

Today, we're supposed to drive down some interstates and through some cities (like Hickory) so it looks like we're about to begin separating the men from the boys. Noodler mentioned that we had a pretty difficult homework assignment for the practice log book. It covered two days driving with three drop/hooks with the fictional driver making around 10-11 hours driving each day. I figured I'd be doing a pretty decent job to make 1150 miles in two days. The exercise took my room-mate and I about an hour to complete it all. We'll see if it's correct in a couple of hours, I guess. I kinda hate doing logs in ball point pen though. Can't erase mistakes!!

Later y'all, wish me and Noodler luck today.

 

Hey S2B, thanks for the tour of your truck this afternoon. Nice set-up.

Met some more really nice folks over there at the Conover terminal today. And I didn't run over any old ladies or baby strollers today so I guess Tim and Vern decided to keep me for at least one more day. hehehe

Actually, Tim helped me quite a lot with my shifting. We ran all over Hickory, Newton, Conover, etc. today. And tonight's log book homework was just as difficult as last nights, although I think I'm better at doing them now. It's quite a lot different than how they taught us in school, ain't it Noodler??

Also ran into my buddy Tim P. from the NC Truck Driver Training this afternoon. He seems to have fit in fairly well at W/S for only working here a couple of weeks now. He had run up to Oklahoma City and back for his first solo run. He was wore out, but quite happy to be making the $$$ now, ya know??

 

Hey Noodler,Where are you ?I guess you are still driving with your fictional friend C.U. Later?
