    Sounds like some new fun!! What did you get? T-800, W900, T-600 or 660? You and Warp still doing the meet and greet/trailer swap out on I-10 each night?

    WOOT WOOT got my letter says Dear Mr. Cage,

    Congratulations on completing your New Company Driver Period!

    ...Overall the review went very well and we are extremely pleased that you have chosen to work with us at Watkins and Shepard.

    ...... compliance stuff how I scored.......

    The review revealed that your overall work performance meets the standards of Watkins and Shepard Trucking and you are now a member of our driving fleet.

    We appreciate the hard work and dedication you offer Watkins and Shepard and we are extremely proud to consider you a part of our team!

    Sincerely,

    On Behalf of the Driver Safety Review Committee:


    I am pretty happy this is great news for me. I know 4 people from my 10 day who were extended. I know 1 other so far who completed it.

    Watkins and Shepard watch your fuel stop compliance, qual com compliance, MPG, idle time, log books and paperwork. So I recommend people pay attention to these all the time but especially your first 90 days, ask for help like I did.

    Good luck.

    Oh wow! That's an extreme looking truck for a Cali run. It's gotten that dangerous you need the moose rack in SoCal now? Hope you get to keep her. When I drove local for them... if it was a daycab = run down pile of junk so I wasn't expecting what you posted. But those little red FL's got the job done.

    What was it's original use at W/S for? Probably doing something heavy up in MT?
