Any questions from prospects or lookers from real Watkins and Shepard drivers?

About as hard as finding brake pads for your Jake!

 

10 Day Orientation Question:

I know several of you have documented the process pretty well but was wondering if there might be some type of information one could read up on? Class out line or hand outs?

Thanks

 

HAHAHA Thats awesome

 

I'm looking at attending orientation on May 2nd and am very excited! W/S is my first choice out of school and I'm honored to be given the chance to work with such an awesome and professional team. Sandy Steffke has been my recruiter and she is awesome. She has been very helpful with all my questions. I told her that I didn't want to just quit my job and wanted to give a proper 2 week notice to my employer as they have been very good to me. I also expressed my concern about quitting my job and finding out after the fact that I wasn't going to be offered a position with W/S and she totally understood. She is actually having all my background and work history and all that stuff ran before I give my notice with my current employer. She is making sure its all done by next Friday so that I can comfortably give my notice. How awesome is that! Most other companies won't do anything until you get to orientation and then send you packing with no job. That just scares me to much as I have bills to pay and can't really afford to be out of work for an extended period of time. Ok I'm blabbing now so I'll be quiet. LOL Just want to say thanks to all of you W/S Drivers for the comments in the forums and I look forward to meeting and working with you!

 

i was in the missoula terminal a few days ago talking with kristy?
seem like a decent outfit!, think ill go up to sage today and see what dates are available to start school, its about time i took the plunge!

good luck Jynxx.

 

Thank you very much! I'm very excited and ready to get there and get on the road! I'm looking forward to the experiences.

 

This thread has been VERY helpful guys. Good W/S stuff here

A few things.........several books on entering this profession. Amazon has several I've seen; being several years out to join the road do you think a waste of time to read that stuff?

Also, W/S Roxy let me know there's a terminal in Spokane, WA. What's there. I spoke with her, just before she split I guess. Roxy really listened to me, hope the new person's as well.

Wyoming Jynxx/guys out West partic........I'd like to talk more directly to you guys about rollin' with Watkin's in the future. If don't mind a bit of messaging please, life to plan for.

Thanks for all postings/poster's! Learning alot.
