LOL Rio! Just took a glance at Cargo thread as well. I am an ex driver myself but the experiance put me some where else. Trucking or the field of freight is what changes a persons life, not the company. In other words think of it as getting experiance first and both look like good choices for that. If you make the bad choice as far as companies you can take the experiance with you. W/S is mostly dry loads and Cargo looked like mostly reefer. Read around on forums and if you still don't know put the two names in a hat and the best of 2 out of 3 you pull out is the company for you. LOL. If you are not in a hurry then that might not be the way to go.
Watkins/Shepard, Stevens, Werner or US Xpress

Rio, I for got to say W/S has no driver trainers so after school is done you hit the road. Sounds like Carogo puts you with a trainer. If you get a good trainer it could be a good way to go since you never have been in this field. Gives a person a feel for what teaming is like and feel more relaxed is class since a trainer can walk you through later such as logs and other paper work. But some people hate the thought of sharing a truck. If it don't bother you to be with a trainer on the road then might not be a bad idea. Good luck and keep us up to date when you can.

Wondering if it is wortht the change to go with WSE...currently with Werner and sitting alot. WSE recruiter says they don't sit and give good miles. Is this true or just another smoke screen?
-
How much solo experiance do you have? Arnold is another one that takes 6 months and you would get a better rate and about the same miles, Yes they are part of US Express and that is a downer but they were ok when I was there.

Decision has been made Watkins Shepard here I come. I completed the HPE and drug test today, everything is in place ready to go. Waiting to see for sure that I will be in class next week. Was told today there may not be enough trainees. Not a problem I was given a few local schools to call for backup. What a great company to get started with I know I am making the right decision. THANKS to everyone for the help and comments along with PM's and phone calls.

Okay, another question I have been in driving school now for a week. The school really likes May trucking any thoughts on that? I am still leaning toward Watkins and Shepard just want to get some input about May if anyone has any.
Thanks.Last edited: May 8, 2010
