    I know what you mean....if I ever parked there for the nite, I would be sure to park closed to the terminal building....as for the drive from AL, it is a very nice drive...some of the nicest I've seen so far.

    There are no good companies that higher then 28 cents that I am aware of. You have May 30 after trainer time and Werner about 30 depending on the route you get. Being a newbie you have to pay your dues. I have talked to several drivers and trainers this first 6 weeks on the road and have found I made a great choice FOR MY PERSONAL situation. Everyone has heard of Watkins and Shepard and I have yet to hear anything MAJOR negative about them. Everyone has their own grips and complaints but as for company they are solid If you find out let me know I searched for 4 months to find high paying honest, good companies and did not find any.

    I wish everyone luck in the search I know it is not an easy decision as to what company to join so feel free to ask any questions.

    LOL,Just so everyone will know,Myrtle terminal is one of the safest places in the U.S. You could lay down and sleep at nite with your doors unlocked if you wanted to.So dont be paranoid,it's just peaceful:biggrin_25523:

    And not to mean it's not safe, just kind of creepy with the woods around it and all...and I know it's got to be safer than my home terminal here in Socal, at least peoplewise.

    Not saying it wasnt safe LOL, hell its perfectly safe, it just gave off a vibe last night that made me feel like some creature was gonna jump out of the woods at me LOL... I am used to noises but some of them that I had going on last night were just loud. So I did what I felt made me sleep better, go nestle in between two refer trucks and sleep like a baby :)

    See SFS I can walk around at night and feel fine haha, guess its a whole different world from coast to coast.

    BTW you guys had a good one today, I was bobtailing back from Pilot through town, a sleeper with a 53 decided to do a U-turn in a dirt lot but didnt look up. He took out the phone lines it looked like.... Had everyone detouring around a side street that if a trailer tried it they would have been worse off...

    I dont know what your deal is, if you found something better and feel W/S isnt for you, then please go join that discussion group. You keep fighting with people here, I didnt have a problem with you, but evidently you feel there is a problem with everyone else. Please stop trashing our threads, you said you dont want to work for W/S so why keep hanging out in here?


    BTW Treydavid, Prime eh, why the big secret? Have fun with that.

    Prime?? And he thinks WS is bad, just wait....maybe he hasn't seen the prime threads in the bad companies area. But, I hope it works out for the best for him and his family.

    Anyways, he's now on my ignore list, so I won't be seeing anymore of his garbage...
