Watkins Shepard 30 day training as experienced by Warpdrvr

ok, so its cool that youv been able to get home as often as you did, i hope you made a decen living? and benifits? not that they are any better working for a bigger company, but 6 days out for 1 day is common, actually, a lot of companies require you to stay out for a min of 14 days,give or take a day...

im jus' sayin

 

Yes, that is irregualr route carriers, I drove only to one place and back. I knew when I'd be home and for how long.

 

thats awesome.... but in reality, 99.99999% of the time you end up working for a company thats not as good as yours for someone just starting out...
i do no what your talking about... i too had it made when i first started with watkins, i was every weekend, and home one night a week if my route ran past the house,
3-4 weeks really is not that long. if you stay out for a solid 5 weeks you can get a good week off, and depending where our drivers live its possiable to plan your trip right where you can pass through home often...

 

Wait until you actually start working for them to make that assessment. I'm not saying they are or are not, I'm just saying work a few months for them, then see how they are.

 

Best of luck to you! Keep us posted on your ventures.

 

Hey Warp, tell me about Sandy! I talked to her the other day....seems nice, seems like a professional!

 

6 days out and 1 in seems very common. most larger companies also seem to want you out at least 21 days from what i have noticed. congrats warpd. cant wait to hear all of your itneresting stories...
