    Well had a great chat with Roxy today and was able to get in touch with Lynchmob to talk more about the training and company. I am hoping everything comes back good so I can get going with W/S soon. I just have a feeling this is the company I need to be at. Thanks for chatting on the phone today Matt.

    If I lived in Watkins Shepard's hiring area, I'd be looking at them real hard.

    You should call Roxy they hire nationwide and part of the $4000 includes a bus ticket or do like I am going to and flying and get reimbursed the cost of the bus ticket.

    I've talked to Roxy and Sandy. Both told me, each on a separate occasion, that I would have to live nearer to the terminal in Myrtle MS. Wish it weren't so!

    That is right something like 100-120 miles from the terminal. Bummer, well good luck in your search, I hope to get good news from Roxy tomorrow so I can get the rest of the stuff completed to start with on May 3rd.

    Well I should rename this thread now to Watkins and Shepard, Stevens or Cargo Express, all 3 seem like great companies with their own pros and cons. All have more pros than cons.

    OKAY I need to rename this post Watkins and Shepard or Cargo Express Inc. THESE ARE my final 2 choices now. Man what a tough decision!!!!!! :biggrin_2551: Both are small companies and know you buy name, both have great training programs, roughly same cost for school by the time you pay for lodging and such with one.

    ANY ADVICE or input guys? :biggrin_2554:
